Stockfilm Research
Stockfilm digitizes and licenses twentieth-century home movies. Here we publish research on the surviving film record, the footage storytellers seek, and experimental restoration models. Inspect the evidence, read the methods, and use the data or code released with each publication.
Restoration research · New publication
Compare historical footage with experimental face reconstructions. See clearer facial detail alongside remaining blur, generated features and motion artifacts. Follow a separately documented GFPGAN recipe on your own files.
Flagship publication
Four questions, answered from primary data: what survives in the archive, what filmmakers and researchers try to find, where demand exceeds the surviving visual record, and what kinds of historical footage get licensed. Every figure ships with its underlying aggregate data, an embed, and a stable citation.
