During the 1920s, Paris was the capital of the arts, a time period known as les années folles (the crazy years), with writers Ernest Hemingway, W.B. Yeats, and Ezra Pound moving to the city of lights. It was also the home and studio of Pablo Picasso, Hans Arp, Max Ernst, Amedeo Modigliani, Marcel Duchamp, Maurice Utrillo, Alexander Calder, Kees Van Dongen, and Alberto Giacometti. For those who’ve wondered what daily life was like, AI-powered neural networks has upscaled and colorized a short film from this time period for your enjoyment.



The short film you see above is basically a restored edit of Burton Holmes’ travelogue – Seeing Paris – preserved by the Prelinger Archive. In it, you see Roaring Twenties actress and femme fatale Pola Negri at a tree house restaurant bar, the Robinson Pavillon Lafontaine. The AI restoration process included using DeNoise for artifact removal, Dain app to increase motion interpolation to 60FPS, and colorization by Deoldify. A soundtrack was added for extra ambience and to give viewers a better feel for what’s going on in the background.
