El Adios Largos (2013)

In El Adios Largos artistarchivist Andrew Lampert undertakes a speculative restoration of Robert Altmans The Long Goodbye based on the premise that the films negative has been lost and the sole surviving print is incorrect in every way 16mm rather than 35mm black and white instead of Technicolor and dubbed into Spanish NB proper prints and a negative do exist just not in Lamperts possession With dubious methods used to achieve authenticity El Adios Largos is at once an uncanny aesthetic experience and a playful exploration of the philosophical conundrums involved for those working to preserve film history for generations to come
