Join us as The Flushing Remonstrance perform their original live accompaniment to the films of Maya Deren.

Maya Deren has been called the "mother of the trance film," and was one of the most groundbreaking filmmakers of our time, influencing filmmakers such as Chantal Akerman, Orson Welles, Ingmar Bergman, Stanley Kubrick, David Lynch, and Yorgos Lanthimos. Her films are intensely personal, symbolic, and surreal, and are a truly otherwordly experience to see.

The Flushing Remonstrance will be performing their acclaimed live scores to Deren's "At Land" (1944), "Ensemble for Somnambulists" (1951), "Meshes of the Afternoon" (1943), "Ritual in Transfigured Time" (1946), "The Very Eye of Night" (1958), "Witch's Cradle" (1943), and Stan Brakhage's tribute to Maya Deren, "Water for Maya" (2000).

Join us at Footlight Underground for a mesmerizing evening of anime with live accompaniment.

Angel's Egg (1985) is a groundbreaking collaboration between two anime legends that intertwines Mamoru Oshii’s (Ghost in the Shell) personal reflections on theology, existentialism and evolution with Yoshitaka Amano’s (Final Fantasy, Sandman, Vampire Hunter D) fantastical ink art style. A rarely screened and hard-to-find cult classic, Angel's Egg is an allegorical fantasy enriched by symbolism and biblical allusion, a beautifully melancholic film that ruminates on the tragic underpinnings of existence in a world untouched by God.

Duo Lumière, the duo of Robert Kennedy (The Flushing Remonstrance) on keyboards/electronics and Claire Jackson on guitar/electronics will perform their all-new live scores to Angel's Egg plus Yoshitaki Amano’s anime short film 1001 Nights (1998), bringing you a night of incredible sonic exploration and a feast for the eyes and ears.

Join us as The Flushing Remonstrance perform their original live accompaniment to two of the seminal films of queer cinema.

James Sibley Watson and Melville Webber's "Lot In Sodom" (1933) is a sensual depiction of the biblical story of Sodom and Gomorrah, filled with sinewy and semi-clad bodies, delirious bacchanals devoted to physical pleasure, and a searing, cataclysmic finale depicting the fall of a city devoted to adoration of the flesh.

Alla Nazimova and Charles Bryant's adaptation of Oscar Wilde's "Salomé" (1923) also visits the Bible to depict the story of Salomé (Nazimova), who performs the Dance of the Seven Veils for her lustful stepfather King Herod, demanding John the Baptist’s head on a platter as a reward. Featuring stunning costumes and Aubrey Beardsley–inspired art design, and with a (rumored) exclusively gay and bisexual cast, it's considered to be one of America’s first art films.

Join us as Music of Curiosities presents The Flushing Remonstrance performing their chilling and kaleidoscopic live score to the 1927 silent horror classic The Unknown and legendary surrealist film Un Chien Andalou.

Starring Lon Chaney and Joan Crawford, and directed by Tod Browning (Dracula, Freaks), The Unknown is one of the great silent films, with a startling and intense performance by Chaney as Alonzo, on the run from the law and hiding out in the circus as The Armless Wonder - a performer who uses his feet to hurl knives. Against a background of circus life and the sinister shadow of the underworld, The Unknown is a psychosexual fever dream of love and revenge.

Un Chien Andalou is Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dali's groundbreaking depiction of fetish, religion, and obsessive sexuality that forever changed the aesthetics of film.

Hosted by Kita St. Cyr with a special opening live music set by Gender Clown (featuring Pnk Vlvt Wtch, Prince Viper, Razor De Rockefeller & Miss Honey Boy).

One night only! Saturday, May 13, 2023. Show starts at 8:00. Tickets are $20 and available for advance purchase.
