Not sure if this has been posted yet, but for those in the Detroit area:
The Classic Film “Metropolis” with soundtrack by Jeff Mills Saturday, March 8, 2003 / Viewings at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. Detroit Historical Museum “Metropolis,” made in 1926, is the first great science fiction feature film. This silent masterpiece of German Expressionism by Fritz Lang depicts a 21st Century Anti- Utopian worker’s hell. There have been several soundtracks created for this cult classic. Jeff Mills, one of the featured artists in the Museum’s new Techno: Detroit’s Gift to the World exhibit, created a wonderful soundtrack that will accompany our screening of the film. It is Mills’ intention to re- introduce the theories and ideology of this movie to the cyber culture of today. The film and soundtrack create a timeless message of solidarity and romanticizing of the perfect utopian dream. Fee: $2 in advance, plus regular Museum admission at the door. Reservations will be required for this special program. Call (313) 833-1405 for reservations.
