The Santa Monica Pier’s drive-in series (unique in its lack of actual driving-in; moviegoers sit on the pier or down in the sand) heats up tonight as Vox Lumiere takes to the stage in front of a screening of the 1927 silent film classic “Metropolis.” with exciting new music and dance, creating a completely new entertainment experience. The classic film “Metropolis,” and it's political and modernist themes, explode off the screen and into the rock arena.
Doors open at 7 p.m. and the movies start at sunset (approximately 8 p.m.). Come early to get a good spot! Admission is free but tickets are required. Tickets are available on the Wednesday prior to each weeks' screening. Tickets must be picked up in advance at the Santa Monica Visitor’s Center at 1920 Main St, the kiosk at 1400 Ocean Ave, the cart on the Third Street Promenade or at Vidiots at the corner of Pico Boulevard and Fourth Street.
