To coincide with the beginning of this years Berlinale film festival, and getting into the film crazy spirit that this time of year brings, the Circus has organised a very special treat for 5 lucky guests, as we visit one of Berlin oldest and most atmospheric independent cinemas to catch a screening of Metropolis\u2026 and wait for it\u2026 accompanied with a live performance of the music score by the Babylon Orchestra!!!!<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what the Babylon have to say about the film screening:<\/p>\n
\u201d These are the Roaring Twenties!<\/p>\n
In 310 days of shooting, with 36,000 extras and 200,000 costumes and the gigantic budget of five million Reichsmarks \u2013 a universal, timeless subject was transformed into pictures that have not lost their fascination to this day.\u00a0 (Deutsche Kinemathek)<\/p>\n
Like no other film, METROPOLIS represents the heyday of the German silent film made in Berlin \u2013 Babelsberg. Electricity got things moving, lighting up the nights and the asphalt.<\/p>\n
The engine drove the car and the airplane, and the lift grew the skyscrapers. The cinematograph threw the vision \/ illusion of a future metropolis on the white walls of the cinema palaces and the people rose from the catacombs and demanded his fair share. A new era was born and is brought to life on the gold-framed canvas by the Babylon Orchestra Berlin in Babylon, built in 1929 in old \/ new splendor.<\/p>\n
Metropolis.<\/p>\n
