San Francisco Film Society Presents SF360 Film+Club: Metric: Live at Metropolis at Mezzanine

SF360 Film+Club Takes Movies out of the Theater and Puts Them in a Club

January 31, 2008

San Francisco, CA—The San Francisco Film Society’s SF360 Film+Club, a monthly social screening series, returns on Tuesday, February 12, at 7:00 pm at Mezzanine (444 Jessie Street at Mint) with Metric: Live at Metropolis, the dynamite concert film that blasts the audience straight into Montreal’s Metropolis concert hall for 90 minutes of high energy, smart and sophisticated rock.

“If I could be anywhere on February 12, it would be at Mezzanine dancing to Metric,” says Sean Uyehara of the Film Society.

Live at Metropolis captures the Canadian-born New Wave/electro/indie/awesome band's live show, specifically a performance from Montreal’s renowned Metropolis concert hall last fall. Metric’s live shows are a thing to be experienced. The music site PopMatters described the live performance as "a dance-rock blastoff. . . . They're no longer just-sorta political popskotchers; they've become activist musicians with a point to get across." Produced by guitarist Jimmy Shaw and featuring explosive singer Emily Haines, Live at Metropolis also includes music videos of the singles “Monster Hospital,” “Poster of a Girl” and “Empty” from the band's breakout 2005 album Live It Out.

Doors open at Mezzanine at 7:00 pm, program starts at 7:30 pm. Complimentary tasting of Kissui Vodka will begin at 7:00 pm. Tickets are $8 at the door or $5 if reserved in advance by emailing info@sf360.org. Must be 21+ to attend.

SF360 Film+Club is presented by the San Francisco Film Society, Mezzanine and Rehab, and is sponsored by SF Weekly and Kissui Vodka.

The San Francisco Film Society, presenter of the 51st San Francisco International Film Festival (April 24–May 8, 2008), is a nonprofit arts and educational organization dedicated to celebrating film and the moving image.
