Lobster Films (France) and Kino Lobster have teamed up to restore and present 32 of Buster Keaton's short films. The new restorations are expected to be completed in 2016.
Lobster has devoted a massive amount of resources to The Buster Keaton Project, which encompasses not only the 19 Keaton solo comedies, but the 13 short films Buster made with Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle and Al St. John. But they need everyone's support in order to finish the year-long job.Here is a special message from Lobster Films founder (and one of the foremost "rescuers" of silent cinema) Serge Bromberg, about the campaign:

Lobster Films were also involved with the beautiful restoration of Georges Melies' legendary film "Le voyage dans la lune" a.k.a "A Trip to the Moon" (1902), which is already out on Blu-ray courtesy of Flicker Alley. You can see our review of this release here.
