Shapeshifters Cinema: Experimental Film & Music | Oakland

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Brian Darr is a performer, composer and researcher who has written about silent films in print and online (including his own blog Hell On Frisco Bay) for nearly a decade.

He has occasionally combined these passions by providing unconventional live musical accompaniments for silent film screenings at San Francisco venues such as Other Cinema, Oddball Film & Video, and the (now-defunct) Edinburgh Castle Film Night. In his East Bay debut, he will perform to a carefully-selected batch of motion pictures from the so-called “silent era” and beyond, using a variety of electronic and acoustic instruments. He will be joined by San Francisco guitarist Alex Xander Jacobs.
