Bergman's MAGICIAN with live soundtrack at the Silent Movie Theater!
6/24 @ 8pm
THE MAGICIAN (with live accompaniment)
In celebration of the creation of the new Manly P. Hall biography Master of the Mysteries by Louis Sahagun, Process presents a special screening of Ingmar Bergman’s 1959 supernatural classic THE MAGICIAN with an original score composed by string arranger Yvanne Spevack and a live ensemble of improvising magicians.
Bergman’s film is a mystical contemplation of a magician and his vagrant troupe of medicine-show performers as they travel through the country in the mid-nineteenth century and are hounded by a skeptical public. Utilizing a combination of traditional orchestral string instruments, electric guitars, keyboards, accordion and electronic beats, the ensemble will be led by Ysanne on acoustic and electric violin, musical saw, midi-synthesized electronic textures and processing. The Magician marks the second time Ysanne has scored a film and performed it live, the first being Gillo Pontecorvo’s The Battle Of Algiers. “Master of the Mysteries” author Louis Sahagun will be present before and after the show to meet guests and sign books.
Dir. Ingmar Bergman, 1958, 35mm, 97 min.
