Who better to solve problems of civil unrest in a futuristic city than a mad scientist?

Presented by Queensland Museum and Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA) for the World Science Festival Brisbane 2024, join us for an event screening of the iconic silent sci-fi film Metropolis 1927 with live music on stage. The new live musical score will be crafted by acclaimed composer and double-bassist Robert Davidson (co-founder of Topology), joined by singer-songwriter Jackie Marshall and guitarist Craig Spann for this sci-fi extravaganza.

QAGOMA acknowledges the generous assistance of the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia, Canberra in providing materials for this program.
