Jeff Mills ‘Metropolis Metropolis’ Cinemix at The Palace of Fine Arts Theatre, San Francisco, CA

San Francisco receives an even rarer offering: a Jeff Mills double feature. At the prestigious Palace of Fine Arts Theatre, Mills performs a live score Metropolis Metropolis (2023), his second reimagining of Fritz Lang and Thea von Harbou’s 1927 silent science-fiction classic (Metropolis, first released on Tresor in 2001). Mills has noted in DJMag.com that the film’s dramatic theme “is as relevant now as it was when it debuted in 1927.” Mills told 15questions.net,“this soundtrack was being approached with the idea that one might listen to it 100 years from now, thus watching a 200 year old film.”

To start the night Sharlese Metcalf (KEXP | Seattle) will lead an engaging conversation with Mills about his visionary project Metropolis Metropolis, blending film, music, and electronic soundscapes in a live performance context. Sharlese’s deep knowledge of music and Mills’s groundbreaking work make this a must-see dialogue for fans of dance music culture.

Two nights of Jeff Mills in the U.S. is a rare occurrence. Unabridged delivers both, at the height of his powers.
