Quotes & Highlights
- "Club Foot Orchestra has pioneered the modern use of live music with silent film. This nine-piece ensemble flawlessly performed a score carefully matched to every piece of on-screen action in what amounts to an hour-long suite of epic proportions" --Chicago Tribune
- "At times it was hard to know what to watch - the screen with its huge vision, or the orchestra with its feverish view of the technology of music. There were big musical moments, and the versatility of the players was such that sometimes that took precedence over everything." --Philadelphia Inquirer

Description
Club Foot Orchestra is presenting two of its most popular silent film performances at the Steve Allen Theater. The orchestra has been instrumental in introducing this art form to a contemporary audience and in inspiring countless other ensembles to follow suite.
The show opens at 6:30pm with the animated short "Felix the Cat Woos Whoopee" (1929, Otto Mesmer. 6 min.) followed by Sherlock Jr. (dir. Buster Keaton, 1924. 45 min. ) Incredible stunts, Outrageous gags! Experimental Filmmaking! Primitive American Surrealism!
8:00pm: The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (dir. Robert Weine, 1919. 55 min.) The first Expressionist film is often considered one of the most influential movies of all time. Dreamlike plot and nightmarish sets.
