Wooden Cities is back with your favorite holiday tradition! Silent holiday film live-scoring extravaganza! Travel to the North Pole, meet several versions of the big jolly guy, and see how Christmas crackers are made.
The silent films, all filmed between 1898 and 1925, map the full range of the silent film era, and include works by acclaimed directors and strange, nearly forgotten curiosities. Wooden Cities will perform compositions from members of the group to accompany these films, providing soundtracks that augment, mimic, comment on, or undercut the action onscreen.
