Hey CineFiles,

I just wanted to send you guys a plug for a really special show I booked at the Silent Movie Theatre this Wednesday, which could easily slip through the cracks.

Brent Green an untrained, completely original animator from rural Pennyslvania, who plays music along with his short films, while narrating them live in freeform, semi-improvised sounding streams of words. He has a homegrown, handmade asethetic, and a exhibition style deeply influenced by music performance:

“When I finish a film we do live shows with bands and sell DVD-R’s with hand-painted artwork,’ Green says. ‘The bands improv the soundtracks and I yell the narration like a preacher. I get to work with artists I love –Califone, Sin Ropas, Garland of Hours and Brendan Canty from Fugazi.’”

The New York Times called his films “some of the most original animations we have seen in years”. His work has played at Sundance, The Getty Museum, The Hammer, The Warhol Museum, and this is a rare chance to see him in an intimate, small theatre, and very few people know it’s happening, so there’s still tickets available.

$10, Wed. You can get them at the door, or prebuy to be safe order a ticket by clicking here.
