In June 2008 Film Archeology was on the front page of more than one newspaper all over the world; Metropolis missing scenes, lost for over eight decades, had reappeared. Metropolis refundada tracks down extraordinary vicissitudes of the complete version of the film, its arrival in Argentina in 1927, how it survived and was discovered in 2008 at the Buenos Aires Film Museum. Metropolis is a legendary film, not only for its imagery and revolutionary technique but also for all the mutilations – or adaptations – that the film underwent since it was first screened in 1927, thus the desire of recovering Fritz Lang’s original concept. Metropolis refundada shows – through a number of key players and moments, the very last chapter of this story: the search for the complete version of Metropolis. In doing so, it traces back the adventurous – eighty year long – journey of this film through the voice of those who made the finding possible but also film historian Enno Patalas, who played a key role in this story, and all the archivists and restorers who describe the restoration process Metropolis underwent.
