UPSTREAM (1927)
One of a number of American silents repatriated from New Zealand by the National Film Preservation Foundation, this previously "lost" John Ford film explores life among vaudevillians who reside in a theatrical boardinghouse and what happens when one of their number gets plucked from obscurity to play Hamlet on the London stage because of his family's respected name in theatrical history.
A collaboration of the New Zealand Film Archive / Ng a Kaitiaki O Ng a Taonga Whiti a hua, the American archival community, and the National Film Preservation Foundation. Preserved through a collaboration of Twentieth Century Fox and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Print courtesy of the Academy Film Archive.
