The Cinema 16 series is one of the finer examples of curation, DIY spirit, and collaboration in Brooklyn-based entertainment. The premise is simple enough: obscure, visually engaging short films paired with live scores, written and performed for these films by local bands.
For this installment, Nick Yulman and the Bone Conductor Mechanical Orchestra score three films: Georges Méliès’ magical short L’Homme Orchestre (One Man Band), Charles Bowers’ long-lost comical romp A Wild Roomer, and Maya Deren’s surrealist masterpiece Meshes of the Afternoon. Open Bar on Kelso Beer and baked goods will be on sale.
