Musicians perform both improvised and scored accompaniment to tradtitional and modern approaches of filmmaking and projection. Our first show is July 27 @ the Hideout.

Festivities start at 9:30. I think I'm also going to catch the My Reality:Contemporary Art and the Culture of Japanese Animation exhibit at the Chicago Cultural Center on Sunday. I hear they have a art-o-mat machine there now. Don't go 'round artless!
