foxtongueAlso, in lieu of a Friday night party at my house, we're having another Sunday Garden party at my night-time house,so drop by this Sunday, at Victoria Drive between Grant and Graveley, anytime between 2 pm and 8 pm. Bring instruments, and food if you like, we're stocking up at the farmer's market tomorrow, and we can throw together a meal for 6-ish. (And of course there will be copious amounts of red wine.) Then, at 8:00, we're trooping down to Grandview park for the outdoor screening of the 1927 silent classic Metropolis, (see below).

Weather Update, Sept 1, 2006: It's Sunny—see you there!
The Gold Rush
The film Charlie Chaplin most wanted to be remembered by - The Gold Rush is the quintessential Chaplin film, with a balance of slapstick comedy and pantomime, social satire, and moments of tenderness. A Lone Prospector, a valiant weakling, seeks fame and fortune in the mad rush for hidden gold in the Alaskan wilderness.
Featuring live accompaniment by Stefan Smulovitz (viola/laptop), Viviane Houl (voice), Pepe Danza (winds/percussion), and Peggy Lee (cello).
Three Monks
Winner of a Golden Rooster and a Silver Bear, A Da's animated Three Monks is an adaptation of a Chinese folk proverb:
"One monk will shoulder two buckets of water, two monks will share the load, but add a third and no one will want to fetch the water."
Featuring live accompaniment by Stefan Smulovitz (viola/laptop), Viviane Houle (voice), Pepe Danza (winds/percussion), Peggy Lee (cello), with narration by Andrew Laurensen.
Metropolis
Possibly the crowning achievement of silent cinema, Fritz Lang's blockbuster fuses the frenetic storytelling of twenties pulp fiction with Lang's personal fascination with the dark side of human nature. A vast towering city's exploited subterranean workforce threatens to overthrow the technocratic elite who callously rule them from above - even if it means destroying the city itself. Lang's dystopian vision of the future pits science against religion, love against death and revenge against redemption.
Featuring live accompaniment by Chris Kelly (sax/laptop), Randall Schmid (guitar), Pete Schmitt (bass), Skye Brooks (drums)
Eye of Newt's Silent Summer Nights is a Rumble and Radix co-presentation.
This event is supported by Black Dog Video, The Wise Hall, Artrageous, and Now Orchestra.
