A once-lost silent documentary from the late 1920s, “P. E. Harris & Company: An Aleutian Adventure” chronicles a journey to Alaska’s remote Aleutian Islands. Commissioned by a Seattle-based cannery company, this rare film captures stunning maritime landscapes and the daily life of workers in an early 20th-century cannery operation. Preserved from original 35mm nitrate prints and undergoing full restoration in 2K, the film offers a rare visual record of American industrial and environmental history.
