Myopenbar and Drambuie Present: Cinema 16 in Portland
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 Thursday, October 29th edition will be housed in one of Portland's few independent community movie theaters, Cinema 21. Admission and cocktails will be complimentary, courtesy of Drambuie, the fabled Scottish whiskey-based spiced liquor.
The program includes:
- The Furies (1934), Slavko Vorkapich's short tale of three winged furies who soar through the New York night inducing Crimes Without Passion
- The Secret Adventures of Tom Thumb (1993), a haunting mix of live action and claymation, The Secret Adventures of Tom Thumb follow a the kidnapping of a boy born the size of a tiny doll. Escaping the tortures of laboratory experiments, Tom wanders through the nightmarish qualities of humanity in this gritty and ominous feature.
Eat Skull, a Portland musical collective, performs an original soundtrack specifically composed for this occasion.
