A cache of 75 rare silent films uncovered in New Zealand are being sent back to the US for restoration.
The movies, including the only known copy of a 1927 drama by Oscar-winning director John Ford, will be returned at a cost of $500,000 (£345,000).
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences hopes to show the rejuvanated Upstream in September, with a screening also likely in New Zealand.
It had previously been considered too costly to return the films to the US.
