Forgotten Silver

In a masterful blend of satire and mockumentary, Forgotten Silver tells the story of Colin McKenzie, a fictional New Zealand filmmaker who supposedly invented groundbreaking cinematic techniques decades before they were actually achieved. Through a series of cleverly staged interviews, interviews, and "restored" films, Peter Jackson and Costa Botes convincingly present a biography that is as laugh-out-loud funny as it is astonishing in its audacity. The film's clever ruse has become infamous, with many viewers initially buying into the hoax before realizing they had been duped by a work of genius.
