MAY 23,
2 Screenings ONLY: 8 PM and 10 PM
Limited Seating

On May 23, 2013 Ana Lola Roman will provide live electronics, synths, beats, live vocal atmospheres, and drum pads to provide a futuristic, timeless, modular, and modern soundtrack/score to the newest edit and version of the Pabst’s first Louis Brooks’ film this Spring. Roman’s haunting, lush, and minimal flourishes will provide a sound-scape that teeters on suspense, sexuality, raw-eroticism, and danger. This will be a chance to see silent film’s penultimate Muse; it’s vivid innocence, playfulness, and primal, yet refined beauty of Louise Brooks-through Roman’s modern, raw, animistic, refined lens. -Spectacle Theater

Synopsis:

Louise Brooks, silent film star who very well could have been the first to engage in the earliest version of ‘method’ acting, stars in Pabst’s “Diary of a Lost Girl. Brooks plays the main character of Thymian, who is forced to face lurid tragedies and brief encounters with scandal-lust. The premise of the story is not a far cry from the societal problems of even today’s modern times. “Diary of a Lost Girl” plays on the kinds of human fears we could end up facing head on at anytime in our own lives. We see Thymian take on a variety of misfortunes, facades, hard lessons, all while forced into a class-system she was not born into and clearly beneath her. Modern viewers will first notice that this film, released in 1929, is the first of it’s kind to deal with problems of exploitation, prostitution, and abandonment. Even before Lolita, or before Taxi Driver, this silent film eerily depicts a new genre of film to come.

"Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met. It’s gonna take awhile. It’s normal to take awhile. You’ve just gotta fight your way through. -Ira Glass"

A Muslim cleric has condemned to death Amina Tyler, a young 19 year old Tunisian who published a picture of herself topless, Amina posted on her Facebook account a picture with the phrase: “My body belongs to me, and is not the source of anyone’s honor.” She is a member of the group Femen, a feminist movement emerged in Ukraine in 2008 performing their topless protests to draw attention. The unusual protest sparked rejected her own family, which is considered a “insulting the modesty of a woman” and Islam.
