The Silent Films and Unique Instruments Festival pairs cinema classics with scores from experimental musicians. Film selections include an early adaptation of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1916), avant-garde documentary Man with a Movie Camera (1929), Fritz Lang's iconic Metropolis (1927), and a pre-Andrew Lloyd Webber version of Phantom of the Opera (1925). The flicks are accompanied by live performances from the robo-centric League of Electronic Musical Urban Robots and Bradford Reed (on a self-designed electronic zither known as the pencilina), or pre-recorded scores by synth-pop idols Pet Shop Boys and Giorgio Moroder.
