This morning I saw a tweet linking to one of my favourite videos, namely a restored and colorised short film of Paris in the late 1890s. It's amazing: the camera just rolled wherever it was put, giving you a glimpse of what the city was like at the time (you can see people looking right at the camera, too, wondering what is happening - it's both amusing and touching). It's quite fascinating for me to see those places I go to on a regular basis as they were back then... I then realised the artist, Denis Shiryaev, had restored other videos from other cities around the world and I thought some of you might find them of interest too.
