A man appears to jump up and get his head stuck in a large film-studio light. He then appears to be super-charged with electricity: sparks fly out from his body, and orbiting rays of light spin around him like in the film Metropolis by Fritz Lang. He finally grabs the light and pushes himself free.

Argentina Metropolis - Lost footage from sci-fi classic Metropolis discovered in museum
NAME: ARG METROPOLIS 20080704E TAPE: EF08/0688 IN_TIME: 10:28:43:19 DURATION: 00:02:39:06 SOURCES: AP TELEVISION DATELINE: Buenos Aires, 4 July 2008 RESTRICTIONS: SHOTLIST 1. Wide of Museum exterior 2. Wide of news conference 3. SOUNDEBITE: (Spanish) Hernan Lombardi, Buenos Aires Minister of Culture: ""Metropolis" was in the Museum of Cinema in Buenos Aires, as you know - and as Paula (the museum's director) is going to tell us, the copy (of the film) that came to Buenos Aires at the end of 1920s wasn't the same copy that was sold on the international market and in the US. This copy preserved some additional original scenes, material that was lost over time in the rest of the world but was found in Buenos Aires." 4. Various scenes taken from the lost footage 5. SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) Paula Felix-Didier, Director of Buenos Aires' Museum of Cinema: ""Metropolis" was a movie released in Germany 1926 and in Buenos Aires in 1928. The distribution company, Terra, which released the movie in Buenos Aires, brought the original 1926 copy from Germany so Buenos Aires had the same copy that was released in Germany in 1926.... 1927 really." 6. Scenes taken from the lost footage 7. SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) Paula Felix-Didier, Director of Buenos Aires' Museum of Cinema: "I sent an email to Enno Patalas (film historian), to the Murnau Foundation who now own the movie rights. I sent mails to German cinema institute. And they didn't believe me because they have had lots of emails from people saying they had found Metropolis. Why would people in Buenos Aires have found it?" 8. Various of journalists sitting in news conference 9. Scenes taken from the lost footage LOST SCENES OF 'METROPOLIS' FOUND IN ARGENTINA Lost scenes from the sci-fi classic "Metropolis," recently discovered in the archives of a Buenos Aires museum, were shown to journalists for the first time in decades on Thursday. A long-lost original cut of the 1927 silent film sat for 80 years in a private collection and then in the Museum of Cinema in Buenos Aires, where it was discovered in April with scratched images that hadn't been seen before. Museum director Paula Felix-Didier said theirs is the only copy of German director Fritz Lang's complete film. "Metropolis," written by Lang and his actress wife Thea von Harbou, depicts a 21st century world divided between a class of underworld workers and the "thinkers" above who control them. Soon after its initial release at the height of Germany's Weimar Republic, distributors cut Lang's three-and-a-half-hour masterpiece into the shorter version since viewed by millions worldwide. But a private collector carried an original version to Argentina in 1928, where it has stayed, Felix-Didier said. "The distribution company, Terra, which released the movie in Buenos Aires, brought the original 1926 copy from Germany so Buenos Aires had the same copy that was released in Germany in 1926.... 1927 really," she told reporters during a news conference at the museum. In the 1980s, Argentine film fanatic Fernando Pena heard about a man who had propped up a broken projector for "hours" to screen "Metropolis" in the 1960s. But the version of the film he knew was only one-and-a-half hours long. For years, he begged Buenos Aires' museum to check their archives for the man's longer version. This year, museum researchers finally agreed and in April uncovered the reels in the museum's archive. In June, Felix-Didier then flew with a DVD to the Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau Foundation in Wiesbaden, Germany, which owns the rights to "Metropolis." "I sent an email to Enno Patalas (film historian), to the Murnau Foundation who now own the movie rights. I sent mails to German cinema institute. And they didn't believe me because they have had lots of emails from people saying they had found Metropolis. Why would people in Buenos Aires have found it?" said Felix-Didier. Researchers there confirmed that the scenes were original. News of the find excited film enthusiasts worldwide. "Metropolis" was reissued in the US in 2002 by Kino International Corporation, which owns the rights to distribute the film domestically, Kino's general manager Gary Palmucci said. Kino may re-release the new, complete version of the film, although Palmucci said it is too soon for details. Meanwhile, Buenos Aires' Museum of Cinema is holding its treasure tight.

ADVANCES IN CRAFTSMANSHIP HAVE ENABLED TODAY'S FURRIERS TO WORK WITH FURS WITH A DEGREE OF THE SAME FREEDOM THEY WOULD HAVE WORKING IN CLOTH. THE AUTUMN-WINTER COLLECTION OF CHOMBERT OF PARIS IS FASHIONED ALONG THE LINES OF CLOTH. THE LINES ARE SOFT, WITH AMPLE USE OF LONG ENVELOPPING CARDIGANS AND SHORT, BUTTONLESS JACKETS (PALETOTS FRONCES).

Entertainment Daily: Robert Altman - Robert Altman speaks out about atrocities in New York and the effect on filmmaking.
TAPE: EF01/0673 IN_TIME: 13:37:27 DURATION: 1:43 SOURCES: LNN RESTRICTIONS: No Access UK DATELINE: London 19/9/01 SHOTLIST 1. Whip pan from London Film festival Poster 2. c.u Robert Altman 3. caw photographers 4. sot Robert Altman: " As I understand it they have already pulled about five or six films that were hundred million dollar films. It all had to do with this idiotic kind of films they make of even comedies of blowing up planes and Spider-Man holding the twin towers together. I mean those films I hope are never shown, but the kinds of films that I think the real film makers make won't be affected. And I think this might help us take the movies away from the 12 and 13 year old audience, and hit a more adult and sober audience ... they go more. When times are bad that is when the showbusiness flourishes, because it is relatively inexpensive entertainment and it gets people out in the public again. And I think that barring holocaust many of these films, I think films will stand, will not be affected by this at all. " ALTMAN HERALDS DEMISE OF THE BLOCKBUSTER Acclaimed US director ROBERT ALTMAN reckons the best films won't be affected by Hollywood's reaction to last week's tragic events in America. As studios turn away from blockbusters that rely on dramatic explosions to keep the action going, the 76 year old director of 'M.A.S.H.', 'Nashville', 'The Player', and 'Short Cuts' says 'real filmmakers' won't be affected. He added the reaction might help take emphasis away from films that pander to 12 and 13 year old fans, looking instead towards a more mature audience. Altman added the film industry in general is likely to thrive as other businesses face the repercussions of the atrocities: "When times are bad that is when the show business flourishes, because it is relatively inexpensive entertainment and it gets people out in the public again. And I think that barring holocaust many of these films, I think films will stand, will not be affected by this at all. " Altman was speaking at the press launch of this year's London Film Festival, which included a photocall to promote his latest film 'GOSFORD PARK'. The movie will have its world premiere at the festival's opening gala night on November 7th. 'Gosford Park' stars Kelly Macdonald ('Trainspotting') and Emily Watson ('Angela's Ashes') alongside an ensemble cast brimming with British talent, including Dame Maggie Smith, Sir Michael Gambon, Kristin Scott Thomas, Richard E Grant, Derek Jacobi, and Jeremy Northam. The festival will close on November 22nd with the European premiere of Iain Softley's 'K-Pax.' The film stars Kevin Spacey as a psychiatric patient who believes himself to be an alien, and Jeff Bridges is the doctor who takes on his case. In all the festival is is screening some 170 features and nearly 100 short films at an overall cost for the Festival of £1.6 million (dlrs 2.33 million). The line-up features Hollywood fare but is also especially strong on the latest offerings from Britain and France, while a 'Treasures from the Archives' section will include freshly restored prints of such films as Peter Fonda's 'The Hired Hand' and Fritz Lang's 1927 classic 'Metropolis.' The festival is pushing ahead despite being touched by last week's attacks in New York and Washington, the effects of which continue to ripple through industry. The event's principal sponsor, Regus, a British company specializing in instant offices and business centers, and an additional sponsor, Morgan Stanley, were among the firms that suffered losses in last week's attacks on the World Trade Center. A third sponsor, American Airlines, has been reeling along with the rest of the aviation industry from the impact of terrorism and an economic downturn. However, festival director Adrian Wootton said support from sponsors is holding firm. He also still expects stars such as Martin Sheen and Bruce Willis to keep their commitments to travel to London to accompany screenings of 'Apocalypse Now Redux' and 'Bandits' respectively. Peter Fonda is due in, too, for 'The Hired Hand.' "People want to show their commitment," said Wootton. "As far as we're concerned, they're coming over."
