This footage from Lois Weber's film "Shoes" (1916, restored 2010 by EYE Filmmuseum, Amsterdam) is bonus material associated with the RESTORE PERSHING SQUARE clip viewable at    • RESTORE PERSHING SQUARE  

The only known surviving copy of pioneering female film director Lois Weber's feature film "Shoes" was a heavily deteriorated nitrate print residing in the collection of EYE Filmmuseum, Amsterdam. In 2008, the institute undertook a three-year project to restore the feature and return it to the screen. The print was digitally scanned, completed with fragments from another source, and then digitally corrected to the greatest extent possible. English titles were recreated based on translation from the Dutch titles and the original color tinting was recreated by matching the source material. The final result is the best possible version, allowing the previously lost film "Shoes" to be screened around the world.
