Experience a new generation of silent films at the Brooklyn Silent Film Festival

If the organizers of the Brooklyn Silent Film Fest are to be believed, this year’s event will be the most punk film festival you’ll ever attend. Not far from Newton Creek in Greenpoint, eight new short films will be paired with eight different performances from musicians who wrote original scores for the films on Friday, November 15. Don’t miss the full sets at the end of the evening from acts Grace Bergere and Hari-Mint before DJ Oom I wraps things up.

This is this year’s film series: “N”; Unit_27B; Straw walkers or: the contagious nature of misery; Happy Mud; Come è entrato (enter); BEZ; In the garden; and Zaqqum. And here’s the lineup of musicians: Grace Bergere; Hari Mint; Brook Pridemore; Ghost guns; Psirens; ISawYerMusic; SCUBA; and Chris Uriola.

After all the films have been shown, a group of judges will rate each of the films based on their quality and the combination of the score and the short film. The best film of the night is announced, but whoever wins, there’s plenty to chew on with films from all over the world, from Russia to Iran. The festivities begin at 8 p.m. and tickets cost $15 in advance.
