Accidentally Preserved Volume 2: Rare and Lost Silent Films from Vintage 16mm Prints is a DVD series of rare/lost silent film shorts, presented in new digital HD transfers with new musical scores on piano or theatre organ by Ben Model. This second DVD release in the series contains 9 more rare/lost silent film shorts. The films on volume 2 are all new to DVD, and two of them have not been seen by anyone in several decades.
Renowned silent film accompanist/historian Ben Model has taken eight more of the rare and lost silent films in his 16mm collection — plus one from the collection of film archivist Dino Everett — and produced this 2nd Accidentally Preserved DVD, bringing these rarities to a new audience in new HD transfers. Unavailable to the public for decades, these delightful shorts return to screens to entertain us once more.
