Man With a Movie Camera live film score with Montopolis
September 7, 2022 @ 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Doors at 7:30PM – Movie at 8:00PM
The Montopolis live musical score to the 1929 Ukrainian documentary Man with a Movie Camera will tour the midwest in September 2022.
Revered as a visual masterpiece and one of the greatest documentaries ever made, the film gives historical context to the current Russian invasion and lays bare the costs of the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe.
The joyful, original live score by Montopolis celebrates the beauty and resilience of Ukraine’s people and aims to inspire American audiences to support the country in its time of need. Cellist Sara Nelson (Brandi Carlile, David Byrne, Austin Symphony) will be joining us on select dates of this tour.
“Sherburn counts a day job in Okkervil River, but has made a name for himself with his chamber outfit Montopolis’ stunning, hour-long score to the famous 1929 Russian silent. The capacity audience at Alamo Drafthouse last weekend gave the local sextet a well-deserved standing ovation at the conclusion of the film and its accompanying live performance. This is rich Austin culture with an already storied legacy made even more so by this latest entry. Your summer blockbuster has arrived.”
