METROPOLIS with live score!


METROPOLIS with Live Score by the Golden Hornet Project!
Sunday, June 7, Alamo South Lamar
Advance tickets available here

The Golden Hornet Project scored a huge splash at South By Southwest 2008 with a special new score for METROPOLIS, composed by GHP co-artistic directors Graham Reynolds and Peter Stopschinski. Since so many people missed it, or are clamoring to see it again, we are bringing it back for two mighty encore performances.

The film itself (presented here in 35mm!) is one of the touchstones of cinema history, but unlike so many other films of overarching importance in the development of the medium, it's extremely entertaining too. Huge in scope, bold in execution, gigantically relevant to the anxieties felt by the human race with the onset of industrialization and modernization, this is a memorable moviegoing experience, and the addition of the acclaimed score, performed live on stage by Austin's best known and loved composers makes it a must for everyone with ears, eyes and a brain.

Get your tickets here, or be sorry.
