Join us in August and September for a series of programs, featuring films from within and beyond the collection of the Film-Makers' Cooperative, about music!

Sonic Visions: Experiments in Cinema and Music mines the vast collection of the Film-Makers' Cooperative (and beyond) to present a series of films and video art exploring — and exploding — the subject of music. From examining the use of Motown hits in Sixties queer underground cinema, to Jud Yalkut's groundbreaking early video work that engaged with (and distorted) footage and audio of legendary artists like the Beatles and Bob Dylan, to two fascinating double bills (one offering filmic portraits of experimental composers, the other exploring the punk and hardcore scenes of the '70s and '80s), this series covers a plethora of classic and contemporary moving image works that are sure to enchant the eyes — and ears — in equal measure.

We are thrilled to collaborate with our friends at Spectacle Theater for three programs in this series!
