The latest press release from the San Francisco Silent Film Festival: opening NEXT WEEK!!
FESTIVAL ANNOUNCEMENT!
Dear Friend of Silent Film,
The drums have arrived! All the percussion Alloy Orchestra needs to perform their amazing scores for METROPOLIS and MAN WITH A MOVIE CAMERA was just delivered to our Market Street offices. Matti Bye and his ensemble in Sweden, and Stephen Horne in England, are packing their bags in preparation for their trip across the pond. The Taylor family is setting the pistons for the master of the Mighty Wurlitzer, Dennis James. And that’s not even to mention the splendid Mont Alto Motion Picture Orchestra and the fantastic Donald Sosin. The Festival is upon us!
This summer’s festival celebrates the un-silent part of the Silent Film Festival: the music that creates the complete and singular cinematic experience that you know and love – masterpieces from the silent era accompanied by world-class musicians. All of the festival musicians are fine-tuning their scores and preparing their contributions to our extraordinary new program VARIATIONS ON A THEME, moderated by Chloe Veltman, New York Times contributor and host of KALW’s VoiceBox. This is a program that you simply cannot miss!
Two exciting additions to this year’s Silent Film Festival:
Get your picture taken in the Metropolis Photo Booth! Courtesy of the San Francisco Film Museum
Custom-made Silent Film Festival silkscreen posters by artist David O’Daniel will be on sale in the Castro mezzanine. Browse a sampling of his brilliant work on his website.
You can find the full program and ticketing information for the 15th Anniversary Festival below and on our website. If you don’t yet have your tickets and passes yet, now is the time to get them. And don’t forget that becoming a member entitles you to discounts on those tickets and passes!
Looking forward to seeing you next week!
Warmest Regards,
Stacey, Anita, Jeremy, and Lucia
