REFOUND FILMS presents METROPOLIS REFOUND
A film by: Evangelina Loguercio, Diego Panich, Laura Tusi y Sebastián Yablón
In June 2008 Film Archeology was in the cover on several newspapers all over the world; Metropolis missing scenes, lost for over eight decades, had reappeared.
Metropolis Refound tracks down the detour of this print containing the complete version of the film, its exceptional arrival in Argentina in 1927, how it survived and was discovered in 2008 at Buenos Aires Film Museum.
Metropolis is a legendary film, not only for its wonderful imagery and the revolutionary technique applied in its making, but also for the several mutilations –or adaptations- that the film suffered since it was first screened in 1927, creating an appetite for recovering Fritz Lang’s original concept.
Metropolis Refound shows another chapter, perhaps the last, through different characters and key moments, in the search of the complete version of Metropolis. From the people that made the finding possible to the testimonies of Film Historian Enno Patalas, a key character in this story and other professionals that depict all the aspects involved in silent film restoration, this documentary film goes through Fritz Lang’s master piece detour along 80 years.
Metropolis Refound was first shown on February 13th in Retrospektiv at 60th Berlin Film Festival in the context of the screening of the last restoration of Metropolis as a result of the finding in Buenos Aires. It is being shown at German Cinematheque in Berlin as part of “The Complete Metropolis”, an exhibition about this gigantic film production. Metropolis Refound has been selected in 12th Buenos Aires Independent Film Festival (BAFICI) and has been invited to take part in several film related events in Argentina and abroad. In June 2010 Metropolis Refound will be shown in Il Cinema Ritrovato Film Festival in Bologna, Italy. The latest restoration of Fritz Lang’s Metropolis will be projected in this gathering, dedicated to restored films.
Metropolis Refound in 12th BAFICI (April 7-18, 2010) in the section CINE+CINE.

REFOUND FILMS presenta METRÓPOLIS REFUNDADA
Una película de:
Evangelina Loguercio, Diego Panich, Laura Tusi y Sebastián Yablón
En junio de 2008 la arqueología cinematográfica estaba en los titulares de todo el mundo: las escenas de Metropolis (1927, Fritz Lang) que no se habían visto por más de ocho décadas y ya se daban por perdidas, habían reaparecido en la ciudad de Buenos Aires.
El documental argentino Metrópolis refundada recorre el azaroso camino de la copia íntegra que llegó a la Argentina en 1927, descubriendo la historia detrás de una película que debe parte de su leyenda a las distintas versiones en que vio la luz. Múltiples mutilaciones y “enriquecimientos” hicieron de la concepción original de Fritz Lang un interrogante.
Metrópolis refundada cuenta con los testimonios de los artífices de este hallazgo (Paula Félix-Didier y Fernando Martín Peña) y de personajes claves en la búsqueda del film original, como el historiador y restaurador Enno Patalas, así como de numerosos especialistas quienes a través de sus testimonios exponen los puntos de giro que determinaron la suerte de esta película a lo largo de 80 años. Metrópolis refundada contribuye así a la reconstrucción de un capítulo importante no sólo del cine mundial sino de la historia que la Argentina mantuvo con el cine.
Metrópolis Refundada se proyectó el 13 de febrero en Berlín durante la presentación de la última restauración de Metrópolis en el marco de Retrospektiv de Berlinale. A partir de esa fecha y hasta el 25 de abril se proyecta en el marco de la exhibición 'The complete Metropolis' en Deutsche Kinemathek, Berlín.
Metrópolis Refundada formará parte en el 12 BAFICI (7-12 de abril 2010) en la sección CINE + CINE.
Horarios de proyecciones.
Lunes 12 22.30hs HOYTS 12.
Miércoles 14 22.45hs MALBA.
Jueves 15 14.00hs MALBA
Metrópolis Refundada ha recibido invitaciones para participar en otros eventos cinematográficos locales e internacionales. En el mes de Junio participará en el festival Il Cinema Ritrovato, encuentro especializado en cine restaurado donde será exhibida la nueva versión de Metropolis.
