Lyrical Nitrate is a 1991 film by Peter Delpeut. The film consists of clips from various silent films printed on Nitrocellulose (or nitrate) film stock, including shorts, documentaries, and travelogues. The films were drawn from the collection of Jean Desmets (1875-1956), an early Dutch film distributor. Desmets kept a collection of film prints in the attic of a theater he owned in Amsterdam; after his death they were discovered and preserved in the Nederlands Filmmuseum.
