Father Richard: Silent Film with Live Organ

Metropolis

Winter Weekend 2024, 
Gifted organist and composer Father Richard Williams, former vicar of St Mary’s Church in Hay, performs a stunning live accompaniment to Fritz Lang’s classic 1927 silent film Metropolis, playing the outstanding Bevington organ. Metropolis is an early science fiction film which presents a highly stylised futuristic city where a cultured Utopian society exists above a bleak underworld populated by mistreated workers.
