Bucharest 1930s | București perioada interbelică 📽 AI-restored

One of the first video reports about the city dubbed at the time "Little Paris" - as you can see, for a reason! Sometime from the 1930s (not sure about this, please let me know in the comments if you know the exact time) - automatically restored old footage using machine learning.
