Italian film historian Davide Turconi collected 35mm nitrate film clippings, which are now part of the Davide Turconi Project. Joshua Yumibe has provided a selection of clips in the advanced stages of nitrate decomposition. Joshua states "such frames make up a relatively small yet remarkable portion of the collection. As these shapes and hues have tragically faded in disintegrating emulsion, we are left with fragments that, through the workings of time, have transmuted into breathtaking images akin to abstract works of art." The 23,491 clippings are housed at the George Eastman House. Joshua's book, Moving Color, is influenced by the project's account of early color films. (via 50watts)

A Nitrate Noctourne from the Turconi Collection

This database is a record of the 35mm nitrate film frame clippings collected by Italian film historian Davide Turconi (1911-2005) from the Josef Joye Collection in Switzerland and from other unidentified sources. The collection consists of 23,491 clippings in total (usually two to three frames each). The vast majority of the frames cover the early years of cinema (from ca. 1897 to 1915); however, some items in the collection represent films produced as late as 1944.

…

Upon inspection, Turconi found many of the prints to be in advanced stages of decomposition. He arranged for some of the Italian films to be duplicated on safety film stock in Italy, and approached a number of other archives to preserve the rest of the collection. However, given the expenses involved with a large number of prints, no institution could undertake such a project at the time. Finding no means of saving the collection as a whole, Turconi resorted to a desperate step: he cut frames from the films and carefully organized them in envelopes by title and date (when identifiable) in order to preserve in fragments what he feared would soon disappear. Fortunately, many of the remaining prints did survive, and in 1976 — at the instigation of British filmmaker David Mingay — the remainder of the Joye Collection was rescued by David Francis, then Curator of the National Film Archive at the British Film Institute in London.

The Turconi Collection. David Turconi (1911-2005) was a film historian. In the late 60s, he came across the Josef Joye Collection in Switzerland of old films and found many of the nitrate films decomposing. He tried to get them reprinted on safety film but this became extremely expensive. In an effort to save what he could, he cut frames from these films to at least preserve parts of this extensive collection.

Beginnings

Prior to the invention of film cameras, educators implemented magic lantern slides in classrooms.

The first motion picture cameras appeared in the 1890s and within a few years an industry of films for sale had emerged.

Around 1900, a clergyman named Josef Joye began collecting 35mm films to for use in his parish lectures at Borromaum in Basel, Switzerland.

The creative expertise of the new industry was evident as many of these films include aesthetics of color achieved through stenciling, hand coloring, tinting and toning.

When these films were discovered in 1960, there was inevitably damage.  The project of preserving what could was done by David Turconi.
