THE ORIGINAL MOMENT.A NEW PERSPECTIVE.
Our approach
History, with
a little colour.
Film preserves something a photograph can’t: the movement between moments. A passing glance. A crowded street. A train pulling away.
The Past in Colour explores those moments through AI-assisted restoration and colourisation. Added colours are interpretations, not a definitive record of how each scene originally looked.
Look closer. Keep the context.
For each restoration, our aim is to share its archive source, historical background and a clear account of what has been changed. Look for these details in the film’s YouTube description.
There’s more to discover.
