- Time travel back a century to 1920s New York, Paris and Berlin. Roaring 20s flappers, fashion and bob hairstyles galore. Colorized up-scaled restoration using deep learning and manual techniques.
0:10 New York in the 1920s
Roaring 20s New York was a melting pot of excitement, innovation, and contradictions, shaping the course of American culture and society for decades to come. Fifth Avenue thronged with women in cloche hats and silk dresses, men in suits, and children in their finest. People, regardless of their economic background, mingled and dined at cafes. New York City surged with vitality, becoming the epitome of the Roaring Twenties.
0:35 New York Nightlife in the 1920s
In the 1920s, New York City's nightlife had an electrifying energy, characterized by speakeasies, jazz clubs, and vibrant social scenes. Prohibition fueled a clandestine culture of underground bars, where flappers and dapper gentlemen danced the Charleston and indulged in bootleg liquor. Iconic venues like the Cotton Club in Harlem showcased the talents of legendary musicians like Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong, while downtown hotspots such as the Stork Club attracted the city's elite.
0:55 A Day in 1920s Paris
The Paris of Coco Chanel, Picasso, Hemingway and Joyce.
In this film, we spot silent movie actress Pola Negri. Dining at the now long forgotten treehouse restaurant bar - Robinson Pavillon Lafontaine. We get a glimpse of the still iconic Cafe de la Paix and Le Dôme Café in the Latin quarter.
1:07 1920s Paris Nightlife
In the 1920s, Parisian nightlife thrived with an air of liberation and excitement. The city became a beacon for artists, writers, and intellectuals from around the world, flocking to vibrant cabarets like the Moulin Rouge and Le Boeuf sur le Toit. Jazz music filled the smoky halls, accompanied by the clinking of glasses and lively conversation. Speakeasies and clandestine clubs offered a haven for revelers seeking to escape prohibition laws elsewhere. Paris was a playground of hedonism and creativity, a place where boundaries blurred, and new ideas flourished under the moonlit skies of Montmartre and the Left Bank.
1:24 Roaring 20s Berlin
Weimar Berlin is best remembered for its infamous cabaret scene. Featuring countless notorious clubs and musical venues. In this film we see roadside cafes, street trams, the famous Hotel Excelsior. A city bustling with diverse life but also rising political tension and underground crime. Darker days lay ahead in the 1930s.
1:46 Berlin Nightlife
Rare footage of the infamous El Dorado nightclub included. Berlin's roaring 20s nightlife thrived as a vibrant hub of cultural and artistic expression. Cabarets like the featured Eldorado and Moka Efti offered risqué performances, jazz music, and flamboyant costumes, attracting a diverse crowd of intellectuals, artists, and socialites.
The atmosphere was charged with a sense of freedom and experimentation, reflecting the city's liberal attitudes towards sexuality and identity.

The Film Restoration Process
I take early fragments of silent 16fps footage and restore them to life by a combination of manual frame by frame colorization as well as the use of deep exemplar-based video colorization techniques. The footage is upscaled and the frames interpolated to a higher frame rate ( in most cases 60 frames per second.) Finally I produce a soundtrack which helps build a new immersive experience for the viewer.
Together, these processes revive old fragments of footage, offering audiences a more
vivid and engaging glimpse of lives long since lived in the distant past.

Footage in this AI enhanced film was taken in New York, Paris and Berlin between 1927 and the summer of 1929 when the roaring 20s was at its peak. Enjoy! You can find more information in the description above
Just WOW! … love your videos ❤ it’s like going in a time machine for the visual sense !
How does AI assist ?
My mother was born in 1910 so was a teenager at the height other the Roaring 20s. I have a photo of her with her cloche hat, long coat, and silk stockings...like many of the women in this video. What a time to be alive!
The next decade was far from living an ideal existence. Those who were the stars of this video had not a clue about what was coming their way.
hunny boo i know you're momma ain 't 113 years , 2 months and 27 days old
@@lovely_rimi201she probably has passed on ?
My grandmother was a young woman at that time from southern France. She had quite dark skin (it was before the time of fashionable sunbathing) and used to put a powder on her face to look whiter. I always remember her telling me about that.
@@Angelina-zu6no It is somewhat sad that she had those types of feelings. That would have probably been a fashionable trait over upcoming decades.
Closest thing we have to a time machine . 100 years from now, people will look back at our time with the same awe and amazement.
somehow I doubt it. they'll go to the 200 years old footage and then to the 100 years old and think... 'what happened? why did everything seem nicer in the 200 years old footage?' those people who look at the old footages: oh well back to slav3ry
By far, the most interesting thing about those times, and any time, is the fact that each and every one of us had ancestors living in them, and if you go far enough back, you will find that all of us are family of one another
A lot of glamour in those days.
wonderful it reminds me of photos of my grandmother and great aunt walking together dressed like these beautiful ladies!! ❤❤❤
Your grandmother and great aunt both were Flappers most likely. The Flappers were awesome
@@juniorchavesopicassodeyahu988 they were and had many a great story to tell ! 😃👍
@@leea2112 That's so cool
It`s so incredible that those movies were taken more than one hundred years ago!
That was lovely. Thank you!
Like you
I never cease to be amazed at the quality of the video, and even with sound, as if I had been there myself!)
They usually add street sounds to it. "Talkies" didn't exist until 1927 and that was Hollywood films.
@@rainamoonastrology ,yes, I know that the sounds are fake or this is filming from the late 20s.
@@vadukraine "Even with sound" you were amazed. Okay, just checking. There are people who think the Civil War was in the 1960s and not the 1860s.
The hats, the clothing, the music!
Very beautiful 🎉 it looked like they had such a happy time
I would have loved to have lived in that era. Everyone was so well dressed, fashions for women were gorgeous.
Same!. I'm actually running out of movies and shows to watch with that era as the backdrop.
Of course that era had issues. What time period didn't? But they look much happier than what's crawling around today . The fashion was beautiful. Great clip.❤
Subjective on the happiness part
Ppl like you are so annoying. Stop glamorizing the past when there was literal segregation
Yea for very specific people let's see how working class people or non white people were doing during the 1920s I don't understand why people have to glorify the past you can appreciate the aesthetic of the time without doing so plus just beacuse people look happy doesn't mean they actually are
@@Genesisorgin clarification... I wasn't referring to you as radical scum. Those creepy crawlers are on a whole other south bound level.
@@Genesisorgin The comment I sent you about not referring to you as radical scum seems to have grown legs and walked off. But anyway, the creepy crawlers know who they are. They just don't give a f**k.
"That's all". Love it.
Stupendous!!! The cloche hats, the fur collared coats, the bowed lips painted dark red, the $27,50 opening night Ziegfield Orchestra seats. That was a small fortune back then.
Thank you so much for this window into the past.
That Zeigfeld Follies billboard! Wow!
I've never missed a time period I never lived in as much as I've missed the 1920's. I've missed it intensely my entire life and I have no idea why. When I was a teenager I longed for CD's of a certain type of 20's singer but had no idea how to explain it to anyone else. Turns out I was desperately searching for Rudy Vallee.
Past life, I am sure...👍
@@rainamoonastrology Probably! It's the only explanation that makes sense to me.
@@m0L3ify That level of random obsession really tipped it off for me! 😆
Me too. I stare at photos of that time period and wish I could step into them. I love everything about the 20s. I've even dreamt of being there. Who knows why?
Literally feel the same although I am drawn to Paris in the 20s and have dreams about it frequently. I would love to just go back for a night and experience it ❤️
I always grew up thinking my grandparents were angels. I was so wrong. Found out later they literally invented bar hoping.
So much liberty ! For movie buff. For movie buffs watching French movies between 1930 and 1945, best one !
It's like, "The Shining!"
Whit all due respect a million thanks for your great work and dedication sincerely Jose Silva from San Diego CA.
Great footage and thanks for sharing it! Many young women were getting a feeling of freedom after WW1, having served in various capacities in the work force. Cultural fashion change like shorter hair and wearing revealing skirts to show off knees was more about breaking the shackles of demure Victorian ideas than seeking attention. It was a heady time in cities for women who were looking for options to the statis quo.
These are such amazing videos... bringing the past back to life with the restored footage. I can keep watching your videos over and over. Thanks for all your hard work. 😃😃😃
Lots of fun and love.
Sooo fascinating 💖... Like the French lady at 1:00 with her cloche hat. Mysterious 🤩
Luv that time period. Like today, full of dreams and at the same time uncertainity but people lived their lives in an almost carefree demeanor...
1960s? Pah! This is where the action was.
Incredible work! Well done! Well done!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
My ultimate favorite decade of clothing,❤️hats,jewelry,classy,humanity,ect…❤️
Classy? At least in Hollyweird it was very scandalous.
@@rainamoonastrologyNo one thinks of Hollyweird as a role model for anything great. At least I don’t.
Beautiful, the people were happier than now 👏👏👏👏
Loved ones lost in WW1, stock market crash, no antibiotics, gangsters....I don't think so...
My uncle (who was probably born around 1919) once told me that the shenanigans of the '60s with drugs and sex occurred in the '20s as well. They were into coke and heroin back then. Apparently the Keystone Cops were so frenetic because of all the blow they were doing... ❄️❄️❄️
@@rainamoonastrology very interesting🤔
@ taured646 You don’t actually know that - you aren’t living inside their heads every minute of every day the way you are in your own life, but having been such a wet blanket about that, I agree if you lived in the right place and you were the right kind of person with the right resources, I’ll bet it could have been a lot of fun, until you got sick that is, but still refreshing while it lasted!
@@lorie76yt I think it wasn't that great. Alcohol was illegal so people were breaking the law just to have a drink. The Great Depression began in 1929 and the party was over. Economic hardship for a whole decade to follow and then WWII. 🙄 What a terrorist attack that fifteen years was...
Hard to believe that the Great Depression started soon after these films were taken. That changed a lot of things for these people.
So nice to see back into these times; only I wish we had much longer videos. It’s sad seeing them so alive and knowing they are gone now 😢. Thank you for the beautiful video 💗
That little window. That tiny little window between the two world wars, before the stock market crashed and the Dust Bowl in the US. People, at least in these 3 cities, were able to breath a little. And then...
Always stunningly beautiful 😊
Everybody wearing good shoes for sure
Watching at 0.5x speed gives a whole other experience. It allows you to take in the details better. It's a little freaky that way, but pretty wild.
This looks great and colorful and happy. Love it
A joy to watch...thanks!
The footage in Berlin in particular is really haunting, because of what would take place 7 years later…
Some of those folks could have died during the war.
Guessing the vast majority shown in these films, are long gone.
What's your point?
@@codymoe4986 yeah, but it’s still haunting to see a place so full of life and people, knowing that it would get bombed only a few short years afterwards.
I bet the coats + shoes from that time period were of great quality. Look at the flappers on fleek lol, they ate + left no crumbs ｡･:*˚:✧｡
Beautiful. Life is art
$27.50 each for two tickets to the Zeigler follies. That's $500 each in 2024 money. I wonder what month that was in 1929. I assume it is early in the year, since the Depression officially will start in August and the stock market will crash in October. ...probably not a lot of people spending $1000 on one show later that year.
After WW1 before WW2… a brief moment of peace.
The AI colors are getting more realistic. Not quite there though.
It went by so fast, I'll have to watch this in slow motion.
The Ziegfeld Theater was closed in 1932 and the revue was replaced by a cinema.
Che belle le ragazze di un tempo ,senza botulino,senza silicone ,donne bellissime ❤❤
Love these gems of the Past ❤
Look how clean those places looked back then. Yes there was pollution, but hardly any trash.
Now people wear pajamas and slippers in public.
La PACIENCIA que tienen para remasterizar todo esto 💖 se siente todo tan fresco y genuino, es como breathing fresh air de las redes socialea jjsjdjsd adoro este canal
Nice colorization.
Looks like they had the spirit of the ‘80’s 🤘
Yeah sadly, 10 yrs from this date, all would be a different story 😢
Very interesting, and fun to watch.
1:17 that woman was stunning 😮 i love the way people dressed on the daily back in those days.
I love watching these vids, but this one just moved too fast :\ I know it said highlights, but I couldn't even take any of it in cuz the video changed scenes every 2 seconds :
Beautiful!
I like the way they dressed.
Awesome. 👍
Звуки прошлого!!!
That’s a pretty good looking reconstruction of old film. I don’t like the way it jumps from one scene to the next so quickly. Right about the time you start looking at one scene, it’s gone.
Wonderfull!!!
They all have a lot more spark about them back then than what we have today...I guess it was the calm before the wars started again...
Well dressed people in the pre apocalyptic age we now live in.
...2 minutes of fun
More Follies!
Those early shots looked like they could have been part of a modern day Some Like It Hot convention.
Clips just way too fast.
Love the 20s!
0:37 she looks like modern dancer Parxatskaya
Great work! What are you using for frame interpolation? Thanks
Magical!
Wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why isn't this at least an hour long video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😘😘😘😘😘
❤magnifique 👏👏👏
Over 900 dollars for those two tickets today.
most of these people in this video are long gone.. they should see their city of new york today!! They would be shock..
Truly, no different than today.
It’s so weird that a style could have so much influence that every single woman cut her hair off. Talk about peer pressure.
☺️
I’ve just always thought it was weird how every single female back in the day had the same voice lol I can’t be the only one !!
Incrível ...
At 0:36 a bottle of Bacadí! 🎉❤
men and women dress so well at this era til the 60's ❤
ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO!
The Twenties were so important because they gave women, heretofore, an unparalleled level of freedom!!! Everyone looks so bubbly and excited- a fresh new feeling of hope and optimism after the horrific Great War ended!!! Great parties! 🥰
The beginning of the end
My looked like they were having a good time back then
27.50 to see a orchestra!!,
$27 in 1920 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $423.99 today. Classic rockers farewell tour pricing.
0:28 nada ha cambiado 😊😊
0:11 0:33 The 1920s female empowerment 🥰
Whic program do you use for to give color to the black/white film?
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
The girl in pink looks like Princess Di!!.
Was red the IT color for lipstick?
Women's fashion between 1899 and the Roaring Twenties seemed to decline in my humble opinion. After watching a ton of restored footage in 1899, I like the fashion from that decade much more than what I see here.
Just before the stock-market crash and the Great Depression. Enjoy now, lament later.
01:13 - 01:20 just WOW... who was that woman, maybe my grandmother??? 👀😉
The year my parents were born. My mother did not see any of this. She was an ethnic German born in rural Poland. Her family lived a 19th century style farm life until world war two.
just think! we will be what folks off the future ,100 yrs from now will be watching on RUclips if this platform even exist . bottom line our images will be all that's left of our time on this planet..We will all get old and leave here. it would be nice if we could get footage like this today ..and get names etc and to have most of those folks 50 or 60 yrs later walk the same places if they still around or just take like a large group photo and see these people as seniors...that would be cool. because it's A Short trip ENJOY IT~
Any chance you could make those clips a bit shorter and show them a bit faster!
