Silent Surrealism at the Lark

The Hot Club of San Francisco (“One of the most cohesive and entertaining gypsy swing bands in the U.S.” - San Francisco Chronicle), in cooperation with the San Francisco Silent Film Festival, presents an evening of silent film with live gypsy jazz and silent surrealist films at the Lark Theater in Larkspur.

This special event, produced by Ellie Mednick in association with the Lark Theater, will take place on Thursday March 3 at 8pm.

The distinctive music made famous by Stephane Grappelli, Django Reinhardt, and the Hot Club de France provides a brilliant multi-media trip back to 1920’s Paris when an artistic and literary film style accompanied by captivating music emerged as a means of expressing the imagination.

The music of The Hot Club of San Francisco has entranced audiences around the globe for over 10 years. Critics have hailed the group’s playing as “intricate, scorching and often brilliant…”- Acoustic Guitar. From festivals in Mexico and France to concert halls across North America, The Hot Club of San Francisco keeps this historic music fresh and alive.

The 3 short films to be shown at the Lark are There it Is (1928), starring Charley Bowers, the French The Fall of the House of Usher (1928), and The Land Beyond the Sunset (1912); each are recognized as brilliant, strange and entertaining filmmaking. Hot Club of San Francisco will accompany each film.
