But there are always artifacts of a film having been made in its time and I get weird about those being erased or amended for future generations.
Yes, I'd go along with that.
Does it make any difference that this exercise is part of a programme of art works about the Great War? It's a piece of art which takes the archive footage as a starting point, rather than a way of presenting that footage. It's not a documentary.
Of course, there's always the risk that the reworked material imposes itself between the audience and the original. As with 'the film of the book' - it ought not be a problem, but sometimes it is, nonetheless.
