enLIVE - Live Music in Silent Film

The Pharos Arts Foundation opens its 2016 season with enLIVE – a new exciting concept idea, which focuses on the marrying of film and live music. During the span of three days, 27-28-29 January 2016, the audience will have the opportunity to leisurely enjoy, in the intimate surroundings of The Shoe Factory, a number of cinematic masterpieces of the Silent era set to original music by contemporary composers as well as short films by contemporary filmmakers set to the music of classical composers. Each day is based on a different thematic idea (For Love, To Dream, On Earth), and each day will feature three different films (a feature film, a 20-30 minute film, and a short contemporary film). enLIVE is certain to be an absolutely unique and stimulating visual and aural experience the live performance of music by a number of talented musicians will marvellously enhance the mood and atmosphere of each silent film, divulging its veiled imageries and deciphering its connotation.
