A century later, these themes are a relevant as ever. A short talk will precede the screening, offering insight into the production and themes in this pivotal work of cinematic futurism. Over the past century, the film has been scored with a variety of musical approaches, presented here with a live all-electric ensemble, featuring some of Halifax’s finest cinematic improvisors: Evan Syliboy, Geordie Haley, and Sam Wilson - electric guitars, Ali Enriquez and Shawnee Paul - electric violins, Ryan Gray - electronic percussion, and Lukas Pearse - electric double bass
