Here’s a 16mm scan of a rare ‘Inkwell Imp’ cartoon. We did finish a 4K restoration from the original negative but we have no clue where to screen it since it’s very un-PC.

Talk to Jerry Beck. I bet he could help put together an event for that and similar shorts... along with a necessary panel discussion.

I understand that you have to be careful about these sorts of things, but I would hope most people realize that a production made nearly a century ago doesn't have the same sensibilities that a modern production might have. Better to focus on the amazing combination of animation and live action and the cleverness of the gimmicks. (Koko being unscrewed and pulled out with a hammer was great!) :)

I hope all goes well! My daughter got me hooked on Betty Boop and I'm hoping for a dvd box set so we can watch all or most of the episodes together
