Eureka - Masters of Cinema

One of the biggest film events of the century, a Holy Grail among film finds, Fritz Langs 1927 sci-fi epic can finally be seen for the first time in 83 years as the director originally intended and as seen by German cinema-goers in 1927.

Shortly after that 1927 release, an entire quarter of Langs original version was cut by Paramount for the US release, and by Ufa in Germany, an act of butchery very much against the directors wishes. The excised footage was believed lost, irretrievably so that is, until one of the most remarkable finds in all of cinema history, as several dusty reels were discovered in a small museum in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 2008. Since then, an expert team of film archivists has been working at the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Murnau-Stiftung in Germany to painstakingly reconstruct and restore Langs film. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present the spectacular results as premièred at the prestigious Berlinale in early 2010 and subsequently seen at cinemas throughout the UK & Ireland
