Fed Square is partnering with ACMI, Melbourne’s home of gaming, films and screen culture to bring you the outdoor cinema silent film series free on our big screen.
But wait, there’s more – each of these films is accompanied by musicians performing live to create a new, original and fantastical soundtrack. Wrap ya ears around that one.
From Bluegrass thrumming to rhythmic drumming, Fed Square x ACMI are your pals for a free outdoor cinematic extravaganza this summer.
On this week's episode, Phillip Brophy hosts a conversation with musician Phillip Johnston about his process of creating a new score for "The Adventures of Prince Achmed".
Phillip Johnston is an American-born saxophonist and composer whose extensive work includes jazz and contemporary composition, and music for film, theatre, and a variety of ensembles. Johnston has composed scores for some classic films from the silent era including Faust (1926), Page of Madness (1926) and short films by Georges Méliès.
Philip Brophy is a respected academic, filmmaker, writer and musician. He writes for Frieze, The Wire, Film Comment, and Real Time. After a series of Super 8 shorts with Tsk-Tsk-Tsk in the early ‘80s, and the experimental short feature Salt, Saliva, Sperm & Sweat in 1988, Philip Brophy made his feature directorial debut with Body Melt in 1993, funded by the Australian Film Commission and Film Victoria. He has scored and sound-designed most of his films, and designed the sound and composed music for numerous shorts. In this field Brophy specializes in Dolby Surround applications and contemporary soundscapes.
