In honor of Silent Movie Day, Vidiots welcomes you to the ultimate silent Science Fiction epic, Fritz Lang’s remarkable Metropolis presented with a live score. In a futuristic city sharply divided between the rich and the poor, the son of the city’s mastermind meets a prophet who predicts the coming of a savior to mediate their differences. Don’t miss your chance to see this jaw-dropping masterpiece on the big screen.
Silent Movie Day is an annual celebration of silent movies, a vastly misunderstood and neglected cinematic art form. We believe that silent motion pictures are a vital, beautiful, and often powerful part of film history, and we are united with others in the goal to advocate for their presentation and preservation.
