The evenings begin at 8 p.m. with music and refreshments. Gracie’s Restaurant will offer easy-to-juggle meals, snacks, and cocktails, and additional beverages will be available from TAZO Tea and MacTarnahan’s Brewing. The screenings start when the sun sets (9-9:30 p.m.). Bring your favorite portable chair or blanket, but please, no pets or outside food or drink. Top Down admission: $8 THE ALLOY ORCHESTRA LIVE: BLACKMAIL DIRECTOR: ALFRED HITCHCOCK GREAT BRITAIN, 1929 We open this year’s TOP DOWN with a visit from the Alloy Orchestra of Cambridge, who will play their original score for Alfred Hitchcock’s silent classic BLACKMAIL. A young woman kills a man in self-defense. When a witness tries to blackmail her and her boyfriend, who happens to be a Scotland Yard detective, their lives start to spiral out of control. Hitchcock masterfully shows the story rather than tells it, and the Alloy ensemble—Roger C. Miller on synthesizer; Terry Donahue on junk percussion, accordion, saw, and banjo; and Ken Winokur on junk percussion and clarinet—heightens and propels the tension in fitting fashion. The Alloy has been performing its original scores for restored silent films since the early ’90s and is counted among the top silent film accompanists in the world. They’re even better with the top down! Tonight is Silver Screen Club Members Night! ( 87 min ) |
