The Danish Film Institute has been setting up a website to see old films being restored online. There's meant to be accompanying articles with some films and other historic materials to look through.
'In December, the Danish Film Institute announced the start of a four-year project of restoration, digitising more than 400 silent films made between 1897 and 1928 and making them all available to watch, for free, on a specifically dedicated website ...'

Sounds really interesting, Petrolino. Thanks. Just wanted to let you know that the video is not available for viewing in the states. Regrettably.

The good news is Agnes Obel's one of Denmark's most popular musicians and you can see entire concerts with her on youtube (for anyone interested).

 Wonder if they got this one Himmelskibet aka A Trip to Mars 1918. Looks like an ambitious project, from a country that is not especially known for Science-Fiction movies.

This looks great, thanks for mentioning it. I've not heard of it before. A few years before Yakov Protazanov's 'Aelita : Queen Of Mars' (1924).
There's meant to be restoration work taking place on films from prominent Danish directors like Benjamin Christensen and Carl Theodor Dreyer, but with the sheer volume of films concerned, I imagine there could be some interesting oddities too.
