**🤖 All seven deadly sins are at play.....** 👋 **Hello everyone!** It has been nearly a hundred years since the premiere of **Fritz Lang’s Metropolis** (1927), and it remains a source of fascination for generations of filmgoers. Even if you’ve never seen it, you can no doubt recognize the iconic images it has inspired in popular culture around the world, such as in **Queen's Radio Ga Ga** music video. Its bizarre juxtaposition of medieval melodrama with futuristic themes creates a truly unique cinematic experience. In 2002, **Metropolis** was the first film admitted by **UNESCO** into its **Memory of the World Register**. There, it joined the ranks of other historic works of art like **Beethoven’s 9th Symphony** and the **Gutenberg Bible**. Simply put, it’s almost unthinkable for anyone seriously interested in film history not to give this movie its due. **Metropolis is still very much fresh and relevant to the current AI times**. For instance, when Maria’s robotic doppelganger exhorts the masses to rise up from their underground city, her cry resonates down the decades: **Who is the living food for the machines of Metropolis?,** **Who lubricates the machine joints with their own blood?,** **Who feeds the machines with their own flesh?.** Her call to revolution now captures our post-Fordist era of Big Data vampires, from Fitbit to social media networks and AI models. **The Meetup:** There will be **live piano music** accompanying the film screening. We’ll start with our usual **meet and greet,** followed by a **quiz on the films of Fritz Lang with prizes**, then the movie, and afterwards, review + drinks. **You'll also find further** **ticket information, schedule breakdown and addresses below.** **Talk to you all soon,** **Ray** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 👉 **HEADS UP** * If you **sign up** but later can’t make it, please 🙏 **just drop me a quick message** (or change your RSVP) — it really helps with planning.
