Contemporary silent films with electronic soundtracks
TOLEDO – New silent films of ACVilla scored and performed live by Thollem Electric will be screened at
Robinwood Concert House, 2564 Robinwood Ave., Saturday at 9 p.m.
Silver Ochre is a 47-minute series of short films ranging from 30 seconds to 4 minutes in length
capturing moments in time, each with their own story, and in stark contrast one from the other. The
nomadic videos of ACVilla take us through doorways in the Rustbelt, into a spider’s life at a rest stop,
to ice shadows in New Mexico, among other visions she’s found, waited for and/or created along her
peripatetic life.
Thollem McDonas has scored these films and accompanies them live with a vintage electric piano and analog
effects.
Tickets are $5.
