Silents Synced
Created by Blue Starlite Urban Drive-In owner/operator Josh Frank, the Silents Synced project pairs silent films to songs by some of the notable alternate artists of the past 40 years. The first Silents Synced presentation, setting F. W. Murnau’s Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror to the Radiohead albums “Kid A” and “Amnesiac,” begins its Austin residency at 8:45 p.m. Oct. 2 at the Eastside Cinema, 8 p.m. Oct. 4 at the Blue Starlite Downtown, and 9:45 p.m. Oct. 4 at the Blue Starlite Central. Future Silents Synced offerings include Buster Keaton’s 1924 comedy Sherlock Jr. paired with songs from the REM albums “New Adventures in Hi-Fi” and “Monster”; Keaton’s 1928 romantic comedy The Cameraman paired with songs by They Might Be Giants; the Pola Negri 1925 dramedy Woman of the World paired with songs by Pearl Jam; and various silent shorts paired with songs by The Pixies. New Silents Synced projects will debut in four-month intervals
