With a live Makabra Ensemble original soundtrack performance


SATURDAY 30 JUNE, 9:00pm

The 7th silent motion picture tackled by The Makabra Ensemble is Fritz Lang's legendary 1927 futuristic classic METROPOLIS. The Makabra Ensemble has performed soundtracks to a range of landmark silent films since 2005 at the South African HorrorFest Film Festival, Oppi Koppi Music Festival and Sound & Motion Studios' White Room Sessions. This will be their first performance at a Celludroid event.
The group consists of Sonja & Paul from Terminatryx, Simon from Lark, Sean from Lark (aka Mr. Sakitumi) and Matthijs Van Dijk, utilizing a range of instruments from electric guitar, bass, drums, percussion and voice, to programming, samples, synths, wind instruments, violin and more, to breathe new life into these landmark films.
More info on the group at www.terminatryx.com/makabra

In the world of Metropolis the suffering workers live and struggle underground while the privileged basks high up in their towers. A woman who may be the saviour of the downtrodden is replaced by a cyborg to sow division and destruction!
