Metropolis Reimagined is a new scoring of the 1984 restoration of Fritz Lang’s classic film, performed live by acclaimed pianist Po-Wei Ger and electronic artist Drake Andersen. The score was created collaboratively by the 10 composers of ICEBERG New Music: Drake Andersen, Víctor Báez, Stephanie Ann Boyd, Alex Burtzos, Yu-Chun Chien, Derek Cooper, Jack Frerer, Max Grafe, Harry Stafylakis, and Samantha Wolf. Giorgio Moroder’s 1984 version of Metropolis is a fast-paced, 85-minute experience. This live event transforms the film with a tightly unified, eerily atmospheric score. Metropolis Reimagined premiered in New York City in 2024, and is now on tour across the United States.

Fabio Andrade, Assistant Professor of Film at Vassar, will introduce the film Metropolis at 7:00 p.m.
