SPECIAL SILENT FILM EVENT. Wednesday, April 25th at the Oriental Theater. RSVP deadline, Tues. Apr. 24th.
Milwaukee Film is excited to partner with UWM’s Center for International Education’s (CIE) conference entitled World Cinemas, Global Networks to host a screening of G.W. Pabst’s silent film, Pandora’s Box (1929), complete with live musical accompaniment by internationally renowned Swedish film score composer, Matti Bye.
Regarded as a classic Weimar film, Pandora's Box follows
the life of Lulu (Louise Brooks), whose naïve and uninhibited sexuality
create a downward spiral for her promising future. Lulu's incendiary
behavior attracts the attention of anyone that encounters her, but
ultimately leads to the destruction of those closest to her. This unique
event will showcase the tremendously talented Bye, who has performed
live accompaniments at the TIFF Silent Film Days in Tromso, Norway; the
Cinéma du Panthéon in Paris, France; Silent Film Festival in San
Francisco; the Kino Arsenal in Berlin, Germany; the Silent Film Festival
in Pordenone, Italy; Lincoln Center and the Museum of Modern Art in New
York, as well as at various other international locations. Bye is
regarded as one of the most important Swedish film score composers, with
credits that include the Ingmar Bergman documentary Images from the Playground (2009) and Everlasting Moments (2009).The screening takes place on Wednesday, April 25 at 7 pm at the Landmark Oriental Theatre.
