Wild and Weird – The Alloy Orchestra Plays 14 Fascinating and Innovative Films 1902 - 1965

14 short films – some favorites, others unfamiliar – made between 1902 and 1965. All boast new music composed and performed by the Alloy Orchestra, a three-man ensemble critic Roger Ebert called "the best in the world at accompanying silent films." Films in this new collection are sourced from high quality prints, digitally mastered from around the world, offering wonder, laughter, absurdity, and charm. They represent many genres and styles, including "trick films," hand drawn as well as stop-motion animation, classic comedy, and avant-garde and surrealist surprises.
