31 Rolls of Undeveloped Film from a Soldier in WWII Discovered and Processed Published on January 16, 2015 by Michael Zhang
Photographer Levi Bettweiser is the man behind the Rescued Film Project, an effort to find and rescue old and undeveloped rolls of film from the far corners of the world.
He recently came across one of his biggest finds so far: 31 undeveloped rolls of film shot by a single soldier during World War II.
Bettweiser tells us he found the film rolls in late 2014 at an auction in Ohio. About half the rolls were labeled with various location names (i.e. Boston Harbor, Lucky Strike Beach, LaHavre Harbor). “I know nothing about who shot the film or who it belonged to,” he says.
