Can I please point out that Forgotten Silver looks a HELL of a lot better than this extremely crappy compressed and unauthorised clip might indicate. USA edition DVDs are available via Amazon. The European PAL edition is no longer available except second hand. However, I am preparing a high quality remastered version from original negs, which will hopefully be available sometime next year.

ok, you might be right about the quality, this is the highest i can upload and even if there is a higher quality option i will not upload it because it is a preview and it is what it meant to be, i have the original DVD and i know what it means to watch a movie in SD or HD instead of watching the lower quality on you tube..

happy to hear that there will be a new version for this film.. good luck!

When we heard that it's a mockumentary, everyone was like, What the HELL!!!!!!! My teacher was like, I swear, I should've taken a camera to shoot all your expressions, cos it was so real (and funny). -.-" I'm so irritated by the film, but I must say that this was very well done. =) The film was shot so realistically that the audience just accepts anything that is thrown to them, no matter whether it seemed true or not. (Sorry for the looooong eassy above) =)

Im really upset to find out it was just a fake.

@LPFTWCS 2 years later, where is it mate?

[mwige]

I just love the music. Anyone got any info about it?

[gen65743]

I was convinced it was real, and when the teacher told us it was all a lie I didn't believe her!

They played it straight on TV and it was brilliant - it takes less than ten minutes to figure it out but it's more enjoyable after that. Peter Jackson for head of TVNZ.

This film is so clever.

stop arguing like cliche internet girls.

i have a copy of this film in case anyone is interested....

[FilmpoetsTV]

Ahhh the magic of PJ and CB...love your work guys. I remember watching this on TV in Australia and going...WTF!!!! Thinking it was real... You had all the Aussie media fooled as well...brilliant!

[jimmyassclown69]

wow, that is amazingly sad.

[BaileysMariner]

Ah that's a terrible attitude to have. The idea of a fake documentary is to play around with the audience's expectations of the form. When this was first broadcast in NZ , it was promoted it as a genuine documentary. The response was huge, people were calling for a colin mckenzie statue to be erected, books to be written etc. Then Jackson and his team revealed the truth and the entire nation was embarrassed for having fallen for it. That's the point: just to see if they can get away with it.
