Father Richard Williams, the extraordinary gifted organist, composer and Vicar of St Mary's Church in Hay performed a stunning live accompaniment to Fritz Lang's classic 1927 film METROPOLIS using the Bevington organ on Friday night.
This early science fiction film presents a highly stylized futuristic city where a cultured Utopian society exists above a bleak underworld populated by mistreated workers. The love interest is provided by a privileged youth who befriends a rebellious teacher putting him at odds with his authoritarian father.
Always a Festival favourite, there will be a second performance from Fr Williams on Saturday evening.
