Cinema 16

Pairing obscure vintage film programs with live scores composed and performed by specially chosen musicians, Cinema 16 recreates the shared experience and awe of the 1920s silent film era.  Admission and cocktails will be complimentary. RSVP now.

The program includes:

• Blue Movie, 1994
  Mark Street's 16mm shortof repeated performances culled from old porno films and hand painted. A man bends over a body, but what we really notice is the texture of the wall behind him. A woman stares back at the viewer with annoyance
• Chumlum, 1964
  Ron Rice's footage of the making of Normal Love with Jack Smith and some of his cast portrays the whimsical and sensual interactions between actors.  The textural piece draws from experimental traditions as it flashes from flesh to color to movement.

Sunset, an Austin musical collective, performs an original soundtrack specifically composed for this occasion. With DJ Wazaaaaap.
