Metropolis is a weekly television programme about contemporary art and culture that has been aired on the 2nd Channel of TVE for the past 22 years. Metropolis owes its emergence to the arrival and immediate boom of video art in Spain, in the mid-eighties. The programme creators were aware of video as an art form that is more than suitable, if not made for, television. Although originally launched as a showcase for emerging artists from all fields, it should be noted that video art, experimental film, short fiction, creative documentaries, dance films, music videos and creative, innovative commercials have become the programme’s main content.
