Shot in color, shown in black and whiteSourced
A color film reached its first audiences without its colors.
The 1982 Albanian film The Second November was shot on color stock, but a shortage of processing chemicals meant it was screened in black and white. A 2012 restoration finally presented it in its original colors.
Its colors took three decades to reach viewers.
