"Upstream" was one of 75 American silent films on highly combustible nitrate stock that had been stored at the New Zealand Film Archive. In June, it was announced that the National Film Preservation Foundation and the Archive had formed a partnership to preserve and make these films available. The five silent film archives — the Academy Archive, George Eastman House, the Library of Congress, the Museum of Modern Art and UCLA Film & Television Archive — divvied the titles and are supervising the restoration work on these films.
