This screening of Fritz Lang's silent masterpiece will have live musical accompaniment by the Anvil Orchestra! A three-man musical ensemble, Anvil writes and performs live scores to classic silent films. Anvil helps revive some of the great masterpieces of the silent era with an outrageous assemblage of peculiar objects as they thrash and grind soulful music from unlikely sources.

Fritz Lang claimed to have been inspired to make Metropolis by his first glimpse of the New York skyline. The result is the grandest science fiction film of the silent era (and for many years to come). The DNA of huge swathes of sci-fi cinema is traceable in Lang’s production, from the mad-scientist creation of the robot Maria, which would feed into Hollywood’s Frankenstein (1931), to the imposing Art Deco cityscapes, which became the model for later depictions of dystopian cities, from Blade Runner (1982) to Brazil (1985).
