The Berlin International Film Festival is underway and tonight the Brandenburg Gate will be transformed into a giant cinema. The big screen will show the 83 year-old German sci-fi classic, Metropolis. Part of the film has been missing for decades, presumed destroyed, but the missing scenes were recently rediscovered and restored.

Berlin correspondent Steve Rosenberg took a look at the completed version of the film.
