Sorry but the list for this event has been closed.

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 Friday, November 13th edition of Cinema 16 will be housed in one of Austin's more unusual venues, 501 Studios on the East Side. Admission and cocktails will be complimentary, courtesy of Drambuie, the fabled Scottish whiskey-based spiced liquor. 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.
