We the Living: Restoring a Film Classic

Several decades ago Emmy Award winning filmmaker, Duncan Scott,
worked with Ayn Rand on the restoration of the 1942 lost film
classic, We the Living.  He is now preparing a newly
restored and rejuvenated high-definition edition of the
film. 


 


Using state-of-the-art digital software technology, Scott
repaired the entire film, frame by frame, removing scratches,
dirt, and other flaws that are common in old movies. His goal is
to bring this extraordinary Ayn Rand film to today's moviegoers
looking as beautiful as it did when it premiered at the Venice
Film Festival in 1942!
