Snow White (Pelham)
Snow White (Pelham)

Everyone knows Disney’s classic animated film Snow White, but few are aware that that a teenage Walt Disney growing up in Kansas City saw the original silent movie of the fairy tale, and it was this 1916 silent that inspired him to blaze a path in filmmaking and make his own version in 1937.

Like all silent films, Snow White was made on flammable nitrate film stock, and for many years, it was rumored to have been destroyed in a vault fire. But a single theatrical print was discovered in the Netherlands in 1992, and a heroic restoration was performed by the George Eastman House film archive.

The Non-Gala Fundraiser: Four Days of Celebration with the Voice & Vision Film Festival
