Join us on the hillside at sunset for the Walker’s annual summer send-off of sound and image. Filmmaker/musician Philip Harder (Prince’s “Cinnamon Girl,” Cue the Strings—a film about Low) collaborates with roots country singer/songwriter Matt Arthur and his ensemble for an inspired evening of commissioned live music paired with films from the Walker’s Ruben/Bentson Moving Image Collection and beyond. Revered for his retro style and Johnny Cash-meets-Nick Cave vocals, Arthur, who is blind, composes new music for films in collaboration with Harder based on his experiences of them.The event begins at 7 pm with music from a local DJ. Film screening and live performance begin at 8:30 pm. Sound for Silents will take place rain or shine. In the event of rain or extreme weather, the show will be moved to the McGuire Theater with limited capacity.
Major support to preserve, digitize, and present the Ruben/Bentson Moving Image Collection is generously provided by the Bentson Foundation.
