A premiere of a classic: Metropolis

TV Tip for those who can receive TV station ARTE:

Tomorrow, on Friday, at 20:40 German time, they broadcast the restored version of Fritz Lang's classic "Metropolis", which has been digitally remastered and for the first time ever is to be seen in it's full length. In 2008, 16mm film material was discovered in Buenos Aires that held almost one quarter of the original movie that had been considered lost. This material has been worked over and included in the digitally remastered (and back then still uncomplete) version of 2001.

It is the first time ever that the full and complete version of Metropolis is being shown. There will be big celebration at Berlin's Friedrichstadt Palast.

The now found material was heavily damaged, though, so restoration could achieve so much in effect, and not more. However, the material makes up for one quarter of the movie's complete length.
