VOC Silent Film Harmonic presents THE PASSION OF JOAN OF ARC: Feb 23 @ 7PM [3]
The VOC Silent Film Harmonic, under the direction of Ted Harms, was formed in the summer of 2007 with the idea of performing live & improvised music to accompany silent films. The group takes its inspiration from how many silent movies were originally presented - taking themes and using them as the basis for improvisation. The overall goal is for the music to reflect, enhance and support the movie, not to overtake or distract.
Love, magic, mystery, beautiful animation, and perfect music make HOWL'S MOVING CASTLE a must see!
Dubbed: Feb 18 & 19 [4]
Subbed: Feb 21 [5]
When an unconfident young woman is cursed with an old body by a spiteful witch, her only chance of breaking the spell lies with a self-indulgent yet insecure young wizard and his companions in his legged, walking castle.
"This is absolutely one of my favourite movies. I watch it anytime I need to get lost in magic and romance, and it never fails to amaze me. I hope you all get a chance to see it." - The Person Who Writes This Newsletter
1979 classic, THE BLACK STALLION, is back on the big screen!
Two shows only: Feb 20 & 26! [6]
After being shipwrecked with a magnificent horse off the coast of Africa in the 1940s, a boy bonds with the stallion, and trains him to race after their rescue.
"The Black Stallion is a perfect gem. Based on Walter Farley’s 1941 novel, Carroll Ballard’s feature debut is rich in adventure, suspense and mythical elements and marks the director as a major talent. Ballard’s camera eye and powers of sequence conceptualization are manifestly extraordinary." - Variety
