The 1927 sci-fi “Metropolis” from director Fritz Lang screening @ Culver Center of the Arts
From Culver Center of the Arts (Film)
Metropolis
Director: Fritz Lang
Film Screening, February 24 & 25, 7:00 PM
Germany | 153 minutes | PG-13
Fritz Lang’s classic silent-film Metropolis presents a futuristic mega-city in which the elite live above the clouds in endless luxury and the working class toil and labor underground. The early sci-fi feature, notable for its innovations in camera technique and special effects, ultimately tells a love story in the wake of class struggle and technological oppression.
“For fans and scholars of the silent-film era, the search for a copy of the original version of Fritz Lang’s Metropolis has become a sort of holy grail. One of the most celebrated movies in cinema history, the film had not been viewed at its full length-roughly two and a half hours-since shortly after its premiere in Berlin in 1927. The newly found footage adds 25 minutes. Now for the first time, Lang’s vision of a technologically advanced, socially stratified urban dystopia, which has influenced contemporary films like Blade Runner and Star Wars, seems complete and comprehensible.” – Larry Rohter / New York Times

Porter Records was born in 2005 out of a love for crate digging in the basements of record shops. Porter’s founder, Luke Mosling, has a talent for finding the obscure, beautiful and strange recordings that may have previously gone unheard by a larger audience. This talent started the reissue portion of the Porter Records catalog.
When doing reissues, Porter works hard at creating strong relationships with the original artists or their estates. This allows Porter to respect not only the original vision of the artist and their recordings, but also to respect the vision the artist has for the future. Porter’s goal is to make these reissues more widely known and recognized as important pieces of art within their respected genres.
Porter Records is more than a reissue label. Porter has over 40 releases by modern composers and performers that bring something special to the current day music tapestry. Each release is like a hidden jewel providing its own unique color and brilliance. Porter Records is very proud to have such talented artists and a diverse catalog of genres in a time when the music industry is pumping out replica after replica.
