Dawson City: Frozen Time is a 2016 American documentary film written, edited, and directed by Bill Morrison,[2] and produced by Morrison and Madeleine Molyneaux.[3] First screened in the Orizzonti competition section at the 73rd Venice International Film Festival,[4] the film details the history of the remote Yukon town of Dawson City, from the Klondike Gold Rush to the 1978 Dawson Film Find: a discovery of 533 nitrate reels containing numerous lost films. The recovered silent films, buried beneath a hockey rink in 1929,[5][6] included shorts, features, and newsreel footage of various events, such as the 1919 World Series.[7]
