Lunar Performance Thing:
Monthly Improvisational Music and Film Showcase
The idea is simple. Present silent movies, really great ones, and accompany them with live sound tracks. Many of the movies we show were made in the first 35 years or so of filmmaking, roughly 1895 to 1930. They show the excitement of artists discovering and inventing a definitively new art form. Taking these movies, and turning them over to musicians who can breathe new life into 100-year-old works of art, is tremendously fun and at times quite astounding.
