Film Streams Programming Calendar The Ruth Sokolof Theater . January – March 2014 v7.3

The Lodger 1926

The Hitchcock 9 Thursdays, February 13 – April 3 Generously supported by Sam Walker

We’re proud and excited to present a series that combines the best of world cinema and local talent. On Thursdays in February and March, we’ll show the surviving silent films of Alfred Hitchcock accompanied by live musicians – most of them from right here in Omaha. The films are the result of a restoration by the British Film Institute’s National Archive in association with ITV Studios Global Entertainment, Park Circus Films, and STUDIOCANAL. Decades of damage and wear were removed, the sharpness of the image improved, new shots discovered, and intertitles and tinting restored. The BFI drew from seven international archives in Downhill 1927 the restoration process, but film materials from the BFI National Archive – The Farmer’s Wife 1929 including a number of original negatives - were central to the project. These Easy Virtue 1927 refurbished films offer interesting context to Hitchcock’s later work, while also standing on their own. Champagne 1928 The Pleasure Garden 1926 We’ve drawn on mostly Omaha-based artists for the other exciting component of the series – the music. We’re pleased to welcome back Dan McCarthy, Blackmail 1929 who arranged a ragtime soundtrack to the Buster Keaton classic SHERLOCK The Ring 1927 JR. for the theater in 2012, performing again with James Maakestad The Lodger 1926 (McCarthy Trenching, Gus and Call) on music for THE FARMER’S WIFE. Ben Brodin (Conor Oberst, Jake Bellows), an Omaha-based recording The Manxman 1929 engineer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist will create a score for EASY VIRTUE. Ben has performed for Film Streams’ Silents in Concert series on several occasions, usually accompanying Todd and Orenda Fink (The Faint, Azure Ray). We’ll be joined by internationally renowned accompanist Donald Sosin for a double feature of CHAMPAGNE and THE PLEASURE GARDEN. Sosin has been enthralling audiences with his silent film music for over thirty years. Collaborators Joseph Knapp, Jim Schroeder, and Luke Polipnick will write and perform a score to BLACKMAIL that will feature classically trained soprano Amanda DeBoer Bartlett. Alex MacManus (The Bruces, Lambchop, So-so Sailors) and Aaron Markley (Gus and Call) will join forces on THE RING. THE LODGER will receive treatment from The Ghosts Collective, featuring Omaha music legend Simon Joyner, Michael Tickets: $12 general; $10 for students, seniors, Krassner (Boxhead Ensemble), Megan Siebe (Noah Sterba and Cocktails), teachers, military, and those arriving by bicycle; and Mike Friedman (The Movies).
