Metropolis Screening/Live OrchestraLost In New HavenHamilton StreetSept. 20, 2025At a screening of the 1927 silent film Metropolis with a live score from metal band The Silent Light, Joe Dahlmeyer’s drums and Michael Formanski’s guitar and synth provided ominous, post-industrial sounds of a machine that grew too big. Viewers followed the unnerving choreography of workers blown through the air by factory explosions as the band played the groaning winds of fate. Michael called the show a tribute to ​“one of the towering visionaries of silent cinema,” director Fritz Lang. Among the relics and vintage pieces were artifacts you could walk downtown and find in the present day. As it was, this was just a well-researched and well-stocked museum run by someone with an eye for memorabilia in the making.
