In an era when movies are often reduced to the solitary screens of laptops and iPods, the acclaimed Cinema 16 series offers a true revival of the medium. 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 1920's silent film era.

The Saturday, November 21st edition will be housed in one of Brooklyn's few independent art venues, DUMBO's Galapagos Art Space. Admission and cocktails will be complimentary, courtesy of Drambuie, the fabled Scottish whiskey-based spiced liquor.

The program includes two PSA's and one educational video from the 60s and 70s:

• Styling and Experimenting, 1964, which illustrates the process of designing the "new" mustang
• One Got Fat: Bicycle Safety, 1963 – A group of children, wearing ape masks, the dangers of biking the hard way in this strange and dark PSA
• Solar System 2nd Edition, 1977 – Tom Smith headed up the Special Effects team at Industrial Light & Magic, where he created all the goodies for the Star Wars films. This is his academic film masterwork, which took over a year to create, over 13 weeks to film, and utilized "traveling mattes," with as many as five separate films running in the background, showcasing wonderful models and graphics.

These Are Powers, a Brooklyn-based musical collective, will perform an original soundtrack written specifically for this program. With DJ Jack Shine.
