William Delisle Frisbee's magic lantern slide projector and the chest where the lost movies were stored are seen in Jenison, Michigan, on March 31, 2026. McFarland found a lost silent-era film, "Gugusse and the Automaton" made by film pioneer George Melies, in a box of films that had previously been owned by his great-grandfather, William Delisle Frisbee. He then donated those films to the Library of Congress who revealed the find on February 26. (Photo by JEFF KOWALSKY / AFP via Getty Images)
