MUSIC WITH A MOVIE CAMERA

Helix Collective’s 10-piece film-music ensemble performs original soundtracks from the 1920-80s by composers from countries which formerly comprised the Soviet Union at the Glorya Kaufman Cultural Center at the Wende Museum in Culver City.

Music from iconic films including “It’s a Wonderful Life” with a score by Dimitri Tiomkin, "Man with a Movie Camera," one of the earliest depictions of the cities of Ukraine on film, “The Gadfly” with music by Dimitri Shostakovich, "The Cranes are Flying," and "The Snowstorm."

Film highlights will accompany the original soundtracks, songs, and the most striking musical moments from the films.

This performance is made possible in part by the City of Culver City and its Cultural Affairs Commission, with support from Sony Pictures Entertainment. Thank you to our 2024 Season Sponsors, BMI and Spectra Creative Agency!
