BRINTON REPRISE SILENT FILM EVENT
FIVE FLAGS THEATER / DOORS OPEN AT 6:30 PM / 7:00 PM SCREENING / $12
Film Synopsis: Red Cedar presents a multi-media extravaganza featuring live chamber music accompanying magic lantern slides and early silent films from the Brinton Collection of early entertainment materials. Philip Wharton has created a magical score for THE FAIRY OF SPRINGTIME, a 1902 French film which features hand-painted color. Michael Kimber has scored VENETIAN TRAGEDY, a nine-minute drama with a surprise ending. And new to Red Cedar for this project, a duo of French composers, Jean-Francois Charles and Nicolas Sidoroff, have teamed up to create a major multi-media work which explores the life of the great French filmmaker Georges Méliès, known to most from the 2011 film HUGO. Historian Michael Zahs provides narration with music performed by violinist Miera Kim, cellist Carey Bostian, and guest artists guitarist John Dowdall and flutist Claudia Anderson for this entertaining program. This program is supported by Humanities Iowa and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
