The Silent Movie Theatre relaunches next month as the home to CineFamily, an ambitious movie/revival house that's a collaboration between Hadrian Belove of Cinefile Video, Sammy Harkham of Family Books and Dan Harkham of the Silent Movie Theatre.
Opening on Oct. 25, the revived theater will boast "bigger screen, more comfortable seating (including plush, leather sofas), and state-of-the-art projection and sound," according to a press release. CineFamily will also divide its nights into weekly ongoing themes:
Silent Movies w/ live musical accompaniment- Every Wednesday Night
Musicals, Concert Films & Special Music Events- Every Thursday Night.
Mini-Festivals- Every Friday and Saturday
Holy F*cking Sh*t (Incredibly Strange Cinema)- Every Saturday Late Night
Noir Matinees- Every Sunday afternoon
Asian Cinema Night- Every Sunday evening
Experimental Cinema- Monthly
Movie/Movie-Notable people present their favorite movies- Monthly
Oodles of Special Events- Ongoing
New setup launches on Oct. 25 with a week of Halloween-themed programming. That night features "a found footage video mash-up, a performance by Diamondback Annie & a screening of 'Alice Cooper: Welcome to My Nightmare.'"
For people still looking for the silent movie experience, the first non-talkie screens on Halloween: "Haxan," with Bob Mitchell live in person on organ. A free Halloween party follows.
