Institute History
Description
One of the most impressive of all 30’s films, Frank Capra’s Lost Horizon is a splendid fantasy with perfect casting, direction, music and a haunting finale. A plane crash in a remote Himalayan valley strands four survivors. They chance upon the lost Utopia of Shangra-La where the weather is warm, the food plenty and the people gentle.
Trimmed down several times since its release in 1937, Lost Horizon has now been restored to its original length by the National Center for Film and Video Preservation. Stephen Gong, Acting Director of the Center, will be on hand to discuss the restoration process of the magnificent “new” film.

While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
