Peludopolis was released in 1931 by Quirino Crisstiani in Argentina who created the worlds first feature length animated film along with the first feature length animation to use synchronised sound. the only copies of both these films were lost in a fire, but a short scene was reconstructed in 1983. He is also the first person to create animation solely using cardboard cutouts as opposed to other forms of animation like the use of cells.
Peludopolis was the story of President Yrigoyen's corrupt government and it gets overthrown by a military coup.
A never before seen interview with Cristiani, filmed in Italy was discovered of when he visited the land of his birth after living in Argentina for 81 years. It is the only interview on camera with him in.
after finding this footage it led to the discovery of 2 shorts that were rediscovered during the making of this film: a satirical sketch from 1919 and an amazing “Making-of Peludópolis” from 1931.
