Produced by Zentropa, a company founded by Lars von Trier, the film is a dark science-fiction story held in future Europe connected by a series of underground tunnels. However, this “great new world” is hiding a terrible secret.

Metropia has been made with highly innovative effects combining actors’ real-life performance, CGI and animation. The film premiered at the Venice Film Festival last year, where it was awarded for its innovative effects. It also opened the Warsaw International Film Festival. Vincent Gallo, Juliette Lewis, and Udo Kier are some of the actors who lent their voices to the characters in Tarik Saleh’s film.
