    Called "the best in the world at accompanying silent films" by Roger Ebert, the Alloy Orchestra are returning to Indie Memphis to perform their original scores to Buster Keaton's "The General" (1926) and Dziga Vertov's "Man with a Movie Camera" (1929).

    "Man with a Movie Camera" was directed by Dziga Vertov and is often cited as the Alloy Orchestra's best score. Written by the Alloy Orchestra in 1995 with the assistance of Vertov's own composer notes and with the help of film scholars Yuri Tsavian and Paolo Cherchi Usai, the film returns to Alloy's touring repertoire after for more than a decade with a gorgeous new 35mm print from the Moscow Film Archive. Banned in the Soviet Union on its original release, the 69-minute film has since become one of the most celebrated and influential films of all time.

    Made possible through the generous support of Dorothy Kirsch and co-presented by the Memphis Symphony Orchestra.
