Bob and Gertie

As we've previously noted, Robert's parents are in Argentina this month.  They've taken off for a week to visit Iguazu Falls near Buenos Aires and then they will go to Salta for a few days.  Then they will return to Cordoba to finish out their vacation.  One of the highlights of their trip has been their very sweet rental house  here in Cordoba.  You can see some photos here.

Choir

Last night Mira had her first public performance with the Maria de Nazareth Women's Choir.  They had a quick performance at a wedding at the Iglesia Capuchine, Cordoba's coolest church.

Some photos can be seen here.  And here's a video.

School Time

La Cumbresita

As some of you know, Robert's parents are visiting Argentina for a month.  Well, this weekend we went to the tiny German town in the mountains called La Cumbresita.  As you can see, when the Roberts get together, some wild times ensue.

For fans and scholars of the silent-film era, the search for a copy of the original version of Fritz Lang’s “Metropolis” has become a sort of holy grail. One of the most celebrated movies in cinema history, “Metropolis” had not been viewed at its full length — roughly two and a half hours — since shortly after its premiere in Berlin in 1927, when it was withdrawn from circulation and about an hour of its footage was amputated and presumed destroyed.

But on Friday Film Forum in Manhattan will begin showing what is being billed as “The Complete Metropolis,” with a DVD scheduled to follow later this year, after screenings in theaters around the country. So an 80-year quest that ranged over three continents seems finally to be over, thanks in large part to the curiosity and perseverance of one man, an Argentine film archivist named Fernando Peña.
