Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Dawson City: Frozen Time is a 2016 documentary feature directed by Bill Morrison.It is about the Dawson Film Find, the discovery of hundreds of reels of old silent films in Dawson City, Yukon Territory. In the silent film era Dawson City was the last stop for film distribution. Films that were made in Hollywood were distributed all over North America before ending up in the old Klondike Gold Rush boom town in the Canadian far north. Most producers were uninterested in bringing the film reels back, so they stayed in Dawson City. When silents transitioned to talkies, theater owners in Dawson City destroyed the bulk of their huge stockpile of silent films.However, some 533 reels of silent film footage were used as landfill to fill in a swimming pool. Nearly fifty years later those films were unearthed by a construction project. The unearthed reels included not just the only surviving copies of several silent films previously thought to be lost, but also contemporary newsreel footage, such as the only game footage of the infamous 1919 World Series and film of labor protests after the 1914 Ludlow Massacre. The documentary recounts not just the stories of the unearthed films, but also the story of Dawson City and the Klondike Gold Rush.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Chekhov's Gun: The film mentions the construction of a multi-use indoor swimming pool and skating rink and how the swimming pool caused a bump in the ice. Much later that is explained to be why the films of the Dawson Film Find were buried in the first place—when the old swimming pool was filled in, the film reels were used as landfill. | |

Gold Fever: A significant chunk of the film is about not the Dawson Film Find, but the original Klondike Gold Rush that created the town. A town of 30,000 people sprang up almost instantly, only to be mostly emptied when a new gold strike was reported in Nome, Alaska just a year later. | |
