In celebration of the classic 1972 film’s 50th anniversary, MOTE underwent a meticulous transferring process from Falzon’s original 16mm film reels. The result is a beautiful, 4K digital remaster. MOTE’s restoration was a three-year-long passion project that was independently financed.
To view and purchase the remastered film, shop film merch, and the 256-page hardbound companion volume with words by Falzon, Torren Martyn, David Elfick, Simon Jones, Sean Doherty, and Jamie Brisick, visit morningoftheearth.com.
