Music and Silent Film at Summer FIlm School festival
Following the set of ,,eventual‘‘ projections of silent films in the Summer Film school program in passed few years, accompanied by musical performance, we want to deal with up-to-date (musical) interpretation of particular film pieces. Musical accompaniment is a part of thoroughly followed concept of revitalization of famous silent films, which needed music to get accompanied in times when film was started out.
Addressed musicians and music bands can prepare their performance–we are not talking about immediate improvisations. The program has been focused on theme Magic and its relationship to German expressionistic film (Golem, Upír Nosferatu, Faust, Unavená smrt).
Invited guests and bands: DVA, Vladimír Václavek, Petr Kružík (Priessnitz), Georgi Bagdasarov, Sunflower Caravan, etc.
