For #FoundFilmFriday: A major restoration win! Hammer’s 1958 Dracula arrives on 4K UHD, reinstating footage lost for six decades—including scenes once exclusive to its Japanese theatrical cut. Restored by @hammerfilms.bsky.social, Silver Salt & Warner Bros. in its most complete form yet.
#MissingMoviesMonday: Diego de la Texera’s vital 1982 documentary El Salvador: The People Will Win. A crucial piece of Latin American cinema, it is currently absent from all streaming and retail platforms, surviving only in low-res YouTube uploads. It urgently needs an archival restoration.

For this week’s #FoundFilmFriday we're celebrating the independent distributors and repertory programmers expanding the Asian film canon. From long-lost queer milestones to overlooked feminist landmarks, these restorations remind us that film history is active, evolving, and still being uncovered.

For this week’s #FoundFilmFriday: Coyote vs. Acme. Making a movie about an evil corporation cutting corners for cash, only for the studio to bury it for a tax write-off, is peak meta-satire. Huge win for Dave Green and the team that Ketchup Entertainment rescued it from the vault. 📦💥

Shot on location, CHANGES IN THE VILLAGE (1963) redefined Sri Lankan cinema and won top honors at IFFI 1965 under jury head Satyajit Ray. 🎬 Yet access to this masterpiece remains elusive today. 🎞️ #MissingMovieMonday #MissingMovies #FilmPreservation

For #MissingMovieMonday we’re spotlighting Fire Sale (1977), a brilliant, chaotic dark comedy directed by & starring Alan Arkin. The sad part? It’s completely lost to the public—zero streaming platforms and entirely out of print on physical media. Time to bring it back! #MissingMovies
Happy #FoundFilmFriday! Thrilled to see @criterion.bsky.social drop a gorgeous 4K restoration of Nagisa Oshima’s Cruel Story of Youth (1960) on July 21. A neon-soaked lightning bolt of the Japanese New Wave, beautifully preserved. Keep physical media alive! #MissingMovies
For #MissingMovieMonday, we’re highlighting Laurie Collyer’s raw 2000 Sundance doc Nuyorican Dream. A vital, brilliant look at a Puerto Rican family in Brooklyn, it’s completely lost to audiences today—unavailable on streaming or disc. Access matters. #MissingMovies
For #FoundFilmFriday, we’re highlighting Michael Roemer’s 1976 doc Dying. After a 1970s TV airing, this look at mortality vanished for decades. The Film Desk saved it with a 4K restoration, but it’s still not on streaming or disc. Finding it is only half the battle. 🎬 #MissingMovies
For #MissingMovieMonday, we’re spotlighting a modern "Festival Orphan": Lorenzo Mattotti’s stunning THE BEARS’ FAMOUS INVASION OF SICILY. After a rave Cannes debut, a US distribution deal never crossed the line. Result? No US stream, no DVD, completely unwatchable here.
For #FoundFilmFriday, we’re celebrating the 4K rescue of Flora Gomes’s MORTU NEGA. The first fiction feature from post-independence Guinea-Bissau is a poetic African masterpiece. Restored by The Film Foundation, it has no streaming home due to tangled rights.
