All Categories - Silent Cinema Galway
24th May, Saturday, 20:00 / Tickets:
Maya Deren makes a return to Silent Cinema, showcasing her short films alongside live music from the incredible boys band from hell - Xoanon! We will feature The Private Life of the Cat (c. 1945), Meshes of the Afternoon (1943), and At Land (1944). <br><br>Deren, a Ukrainian-born American experimental filmmaker, played a significant role in the avant-garde movement during the 1940s and 1950s.<br><br>She believed that the purpose of film was to evoke an experience. She skillfully blended her knowledge of dance and choreography with ethnography, the African spiritual practice of Haitian Vodou, symbolist poetry, and gestalt psychology. <br><br>Like Deren, we are passionate about the idea that film should create an experience. That's why we are thrilled to have Galway-based Xoanon join us, as their music, much like Maya's films, breaks away from conventional norms, exploring realms beyond space and time.<br><br>Doors and Wine Bar open from 7:30 PM<br><br>RATED: PG | TIME: 60 minutes<br><br>SELECT ONE OPTION:<br>1. One table for up to 3 people (€27 in total)<br>2. Single chair - no table (€10)
