Hey guys, dycaite here; got a few cool things to report on today, beginning with the discovery of a June 2016 YouTube upload of the elusive short film [[Swirlee (Found Short Film; 1989)|''Swirlee'']]! This was one of the earlier articles written on the LMW, so it's really nice to see it finally unearthed. Big thanks to YouTuber artdamaged for the original upload ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c81J9RbtZno available here]), to Uncle Sporkums for the tip-off and to Notelu for cleaning up and reuploading the short (seen above)!
What's up guys, dycaite again with another handful of exciting updates; let's get straight into it!
 
Firstly, the highly sought after martial arts film [[The Big Boss Part II (Partially Found Martial Arts Film; 1976)|''The Big Boss Part II'']] is reportedly getting a Blu-ray release! This news broke a couple of days ago at [http://enlejemordersertilbage.blogspot.com.au/2016/10/the-lost-sequel-to-big-boss-is-finally.html enlejemordersertilbage.blogspot.com] and while it has not been independently verified, it certain sounds like it's legitimately happening [http://enlejemordersertilbage.blogspot.com.au/2016/10/the-lost-sequel-to-big-boss-is-finally.html (check the article for more info)]. Here's hoping!


Next up, Randy has released a new episode of the [[Lost Media Chronicles|Lost Media Chronicles]]! This time he covers lost media relating to [[Deems Taylor's Fantasia monologues (lost audio; 1940)|Disney's ''Fantasia'']]; check it out above!
Secondly, earlier this month, a copy of [[George Melies missing works (lost films; 1890s-1910s)|Georges Melies' 1904 short ''Match de Prestidigitation'']] (aka ''Conjuring Contest'') (a film thought to be lost forever) was discovered in a mislabelled container by the Czech national film archive! This is pretty massive news, as a large chunk of Melies' filmography is considered lost, so to see any of it recovered is quite extraordinary. No talk of any kind of international release at this point, though the film is to be shown alongside other piece of Melies' work at a number of Czech cinemas in the near future. Fingers crossed for an international release!<nowiki>*</nowiki>


Thirdly, Bernie has released the second part of his series of videos on [[Pinwheel "Clock Man" short (lost animated short; 1970s-1980s)|''Pinwheel''’s Clock Man]]. In this video, Bernie interviews the man himself, Commander Santa; you can see it above, it's definitely worth a watch!
<nowiki>*</nowiki>''NOTE'': I actually mentioned this on the LMW Facebook page a couple weeks back when the story broke but had shamefully neglected to give it a mention in the notice board, so I figured better late than never, right?


Also, since the advent of two score and ten "unofficial" LMW Discord groups, a new one has recently been created and we are officially endorsing it as the site's Discord server. If you wanna check it out, you can do so [https://discord.gg/g5PxGYt by clicking here].
Thirdly, Randy has released a new episode of the Lost Media Chronicles! This time he covers the infamous [[Max Headroom Television Hijacking (1987; Lost Audio From First Transmission)|Max Headroom pirating incident]] (more specifically, the lost audio from the first broadcast). The opening monologue is brilliant (and yours truly gets name dropped), just... Watch it (above). NOW!


Aaaand finally, just in case you missed the last notice board post, [[Groupie (partially found Marilyn Manson short; 1990s)|Marilyn Manson's ''Groupie'']] is set to be released on the 20th, so remember to keep your eyes peeled for that!
Finally today I wanted to quickly bring up something that has been brought to my attention by several people. Some users have proposed that the Shoutbox be replaced with a more typical Chatbox (preferably one that integrates better with the site - no more multiple logins, etc.) Now, this is still early days, the Shoutbox is here to stay for some time yet, though I do want to gauge opinion on this matter, so I have [http://www.strawpoll.me/11508523 set up a straw poll for it], please take a minute to vote, we'd really appreciate it.


That's all for now, catch ya's next time!
That's gunna do it for today; until next time!

Welcome to The Lost Media Wiki!

This wiki is a community passion project where we detail and attempt to track down (at least, in most cases) pieces of lost or hard to find media; whether it be video, audio or otherwise (of either a fictional or non-fictional nature), if it's completely lost or simply inaccessible to the general public, it belongs here.

Breaking off from its original Wikia hosting, the site was moved to its own, independent host (the process of which was initiated in late 2014 and concluded in mid 2015) and has been steadily growing since its humble beginnings. We encourage any and all connoisseurs of obscure media to join in and contribute; the more the merrier. Happy searching!

What's up guys, dycaite again with another handful of exciting updates; let's get straight into it!

Firstly, the highly sought after martial arts film The Big Boss Part II is reportedly getting a Blu-ray release! This news broke a couple of days ago at enlejemordersertilbage.blogspot.com and while it has not been independently verified, it certain sounds like it's legitimately happening (check the article for more info). Here's hoping!

Secondly, earlier this month, a copy of Georges Melies' 1904 short Match de Prestidigitation (aka Conjuring Contest) (a film thought to be lost forever) was discovered in a mislabelled container by the Czech national film archive! This is pretty massive news, as a large chunk of Melies' filmography is considered lost, so to see any of it recovered is quite extraordinary. No talk of any kind of international release at this point, though the film is to be shown alongside other piece of Melies' work at a number of Czech cinemas in the near future. Fingers crossed for an international release!*

*NOTE: I actually mentioned this on the LMW Facebook page a couple weeks back when the story broke but had shamefully neglected to give it a mention in the notice board, so I figured better late than never, right?

Thirdly, Randy has released a new episode of the Lost Media Chronicles! This time he covers the infamous Max Headroom pirating incident (more specifically, the lost audio from the first broadcast).
