Television Española S.A. Metropolis
Metropolis is a showcase of urban alternative culture in the main cities around the world. During its eight years of history, Metropolis has always been open to all nonconventional artistic expressions. This thirty minutes program covers four different areas:
Images:
ComputerAnimation, VideoArt, independent Cinema, Photo­ graphy, Painting, Illustration, Ad­ vertising, Comic
Forms:
Dance, Off Theatre, Sculpture, Fashion Design, Performance
Sounds: Music, Noises
Spaces:
Architecture, Design, Installations
We have always paid attention to the creators, the individual - or collective - approximation to the artistic fact. Conceived as a very audiovisual product, Metro­polis uses the image as a main element. The way of wildtrack and music, as well as brief ex­cerpts of interviews with creators, in their own language, give an idea of the international aim of our work.
Metropolis has been broadcasted for the last eight years in TVE 2. More than 400 chapters have been produced, more than 600 artists from all over the world, different countries, different cities (Madrid, London, Paris, New York, Berlin, Amsterdam, Tokyo, Los Angeles, Vienna, Montreal, Beijing, Moscow...) have been presented.
