Exhibition presentation

Exhibition dedicated to Fritz Lang’s famous film Metropolis.
The exhibition was designed and put together by the Deutsche Kinemathek after a 16 mm print of the film was found in Buenos Aires, allowing for Metropolis to be recut as faithfully as possible to the original version shown in Berlin in January 1927. The exhibition “brings the architectural dimension of the film to the fore while simultaneously tracing the history of its production, distribution and restoration” (La Cinémathèque Française, Activity Report, 2011).
The exhibition featured approximately 220 objects. Some of these were authentic objects, in large part borrowed from collections housed at the Deutsche Kinemathek and at the Cinémathèque Française: original drawings for the set, costumes, devices, on-set photographs. Substitutes included a robot of the “machine-woman”. Film excerpts were featured throughout the exhibition, organised according to the film’s six main sequences: the City of the Sons; the City of Workers; the City Above; Rotwang’s Laboratory; the Catacombs; the Cathedral.
The exhibition was presented over 300 m² on the 7th floor of the Cinémathèque Française.
The exhibition was sponsored by Neuflize OBC and Groupama with support from Kodak.
