"SOUND + VISION"
March 24 -26, 2008
Neighborhood Theatre
The NODA Film Festival returns for its sixth installment with "Sound + Vision," showcasing bands performing their original soundtracks to silent films - live on the stage at the Neighborhood Theatre. Sponsored by P*U*R*E Realty.
This isn't your typical guy with a piano plinking along to some silent film classic. This is a fresh, 21st century experience. These are edgy, innovative, and inspiring soundtracks performed in a variety of styles by cutting-edge bands. They'll make you see the films - and hear the music - in entirely new ways.
We're especially proud to feature the legendary art punk band PERE UBU performing their acclaimed soundtrack to the science fiction classic "The Man with X-Ray Eyes." The following nights feature two of the most exciting groups from Charlotte's rich local music scene scoring silent films from around the globe.
Thanks to all our sponsors, supporters and film fans who came to the
Charles Burnett Retrospective on the August 24-26th. The event was a
huge success and Mr. Burnett enjoyed himself thouroughly. Be sure to
catch the WFAE coverage below.
