Metropolis : "The city of the future, huge, of gigantic dimensions... Machines : fantastic dreams of the future come true. Heart Machine, Moloch Machine... Humans of the light : happy, like gods. Humans of the night : enslaved like cattle. Human Machine : pools of light oscillate... limbs of steel transform into human shapes. Water disaster in the worker's city... Riot ! The underground city drowns !" Thus was Germany's biggest and most ambitious silent film advertised in Cologne in 1927. Amost ninety years after the premiere of METROPOLIS, the University- and City Library Cologne presents an exhibition on this classic film together with a comprehensive accompanying programme. You will see screenings, costumes, film cameras, musical performances, films stills, drafts by set designers, recreated props, readings and lectures on the film and its production. Right up to the present day, films and music videos continue to make a stylistic and architectural references to Fritz Lang's epic masterpiece
