Culled from ten reels of 35mm film found in the papers of Admiral Richard E. Byrd and recently preserved by the National Film Preservation Foundation (after 18 of the original reels had already turned to dust), BYRD 1933 is a glorious cinematic record of the famed explorer’s expeditions in 1928–30 and 1933–35. The doc—which includes Byrd’s own voice and the environmental and animal sounds of Antartica, thanks to audio found in and adapted from @theohiostateuniversity's Byrd Papers archive—makes its world premiere at #TheWex tonight (Tue) at 7 PM, with a panel discussion following.
