First Film To Feature a Robot, Once Lost, Has Been Found and Ready To View
An early sci-fi film that was unseen for over a century is now free to view, thanks to the Library of Congress. After about 10 pre-WWI reels of film were dropped off at the institution, rusted and out of shape, librarians carefully began taking them apart and inspecting them. During the restoration process, they realized that they were looking at Gugusse et l’Automate (Gugusse and the Automaton) by George Méliès.
