The composer Phillip Johnston presents his new publication
Last year the Goethe-Institut series
KinoKonzert featured Lotte Reiniger’s legendary animated movie
The Adventures of Prince Achmed with a live soundtrack by Phillip Johnston and his jazz quartet. We staged this show at the Chauvel in Sydney, Fed Square in Melbourne, National Film and Sound Archive in Canberra, and Bangalow Film Festival.
But Phillip Johnston hasn’t only composed scores for silent films, he’s also written a book about it, entitled
Silent Films/Loud Music: New Ways of Listening to and Thinking about Silent Film Music. This book has just been published and is now available via
Bloomsbury Academic.
For this event at the Goethe-Institut in Sydney, Phillip Johnston will launch his book, talk about the genre, show some samples and engage in a conversation with KinoKonzert curators, Christian Pazzaglia and Jochen Gutsch.
