SEPTEMBER 29: Devil's Music Ensemble Presents: RED HEROINE (special
one-time screening!)

The Devil's Music Ensemble is comprised of three multi-instrumental
musicians from Boston that have been making their name with live,
original score performances to classic silent films. With over 6 U.S.
and 2 European tours, the DME is one of the primary American groups in
this field and are capable of tightly synced, genre-bending, hypnotic
musical performances that can make an audience forget that there is a
live band directing the mood, emotion and pace of the visual imagery
they are immersed in. 'Red Heroine,' directed by Wen Yimin, is the
only surviving Chinese martial arts film left from the silent film
era. It is a prime example of the terrifically popular Chinese
swordplay genre (Wuxia Pian), which was banned after the cultural
revolution. The score that the DME has composed pulls from the
traditions of Chinese classical and folk music, as well as soundtracks
from classic kung fu cinema, and is the only modern score made
expressly for this film. This is a very rare performance that
showcases the combination of the ancient tradition of martial art,
early 20th century Asian film, and 21st century music.
