The recent rediscovery of an early cut of Fritz Lang's monumental classic METROPOLIS has been the most significant film preservation story in decades. If you haven't heard, a print of METROPOLIS was located in an Argentinian film archive. While prints that played in other parts of the world were cut drastically, the Argentinian version conformed to the first release version and is over 20 minutes longer than the previous restored cut. Full restoration was completed this year. The news about the rediscovery and restoration has spread like wildfire among film aficionados and screenings have been in great demand.
This screening will be the first in Austin of this epochal film in its complete form. Such a special occasion requires special execution so we will be taking over the Seaholm Power Plant for a gala screening with a live performance of an original score by Graham and Peter. This will be an unforgettable evening.
