Metropolis (dir. Fritz Lang, 1927) with live music

Metropolis, Fritz Lang’s iconic 1927 science-fiction masterpiece and one of the greatest movies of the silent film era, presented a chilling vision of a city of the future where the rich live high in the sky while the poor toil far below.

San José State University's Humanities Honors Program and the SJSU Campus Reading Program are proud to present this “silent” film as it was originally meant to be experienced, shown in a 2010 restored print with live musical accompaniment by members of the SJSU Saxophone Studio. Introduction to the film and its world by Professor Anthony Raynsford, chair of the SJSU Department of Art & Art History. Open to SJSU community and general public.
