Northwest Film Forum
Northwest Film Forum and The Sprocket Society, in association with Center For Visual Music, present this special series celebrating the history of Visual Music. Over the past century, there have been a number of prescient artists who have approached cinema as a tool for merging visual art and music in order to create a new synaesthetic art form and explore uncharted areas of experience. Through a vibrant history of cinematic experiments, these pioneers have been inventing the concepts, aesthetics, techniques and technologies on which our modern image-and-sound culture is based. Visual Music is a rare opportunity to see restored film prints of work by such master animators as Oskar Fischinger, Mary Ellen Bute, Jordan Belson and Robert Breer on the big screen. In addition, they will be hosting a panel discussion on Seattle’s own history of visual music in the 1960s and early 70s. This series takes place Friday, April 9 through Wednesday, April 14.
