COMING SOON--GARY LUCAS' NEW LIVE SOLO GUITAR SCORE FOR LUIS BUNUEL'S "EL ANGEL EXTERMINADOR" (1962) WORLD PREMIERE AT THE 33rd HAVANA FILM FESTIVAL DEC. 10th
ALSO COMING SOON, GARY LUCAS' NEW SOLO GUITAR SCORE FOR CARL DREYER'S "VAMPYR" (1932)
Just returned from a stellar performance Saturday night April 15th accompanying the legendary 1931 Spanish "Dracula" with my original live solo guitar soundtrack at the Off Plus Camera International Festival of Independent Films in lovely Krakow Poland.
The setting for this, the Polish premiere of my project, was the fabulous Lizard King club right off the Old Town Square.
Close to 11pm I took the stage with 2 guitars and a battery of fx pedals and played a continuous score for nearly two hours accompanying this famously music free film (well, there is a snatch of Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake" in the title sequence that I harmonize with, but otherwise I was on my own, with my own original music--about 50% composed themes and 50% improvised--which keeps it fresh as I never play it the same way twice).
The file embedded in this blog is a documentary I produced and it can be viewed at http://vimeo.com/12008525 but please view it on "couch mode" which is just to the right of the title "the Long Journey Home." It is the story of my daughter, Stephanie, who endured incest and sexual abuse at the hands of my ex-husband, which obviously was kept from me. When she finally told me the truht at the age of eighteen, I went nuts and we gathered mounds of evidence, which included love letters, receipts from the abortion clinic, dirty clothing etc, and we sent his butt to jail. After I entered film school and it was time to make a documentary, with Stephanie's cooperation, I was able to do it. I was even able to include an interview with the perpetrator, which really sets this film apart. Although it is short, it is very impacting and I hope you let me know how you feel about it.
Hard Rock Cafe Darling Harbour Media And Celebs Event; Sydney, Australia, By Eva Rinaldi
The world famous Hard Rock Cafe has returned to 'Sin City' Sydney with a vengeance, based on tonight's launch event at the brand new Darling Harbour venue.
Few films can boast such raw and gritty realism as VOLCANO (ELDFJALL, Iceland, 2011). While the film is set in its native Iceland, it is a far cry from the expansive Nordic Eden we have been exposed to after Eastwood's FLAGS OF OUR FATHERS (2006) and TOMB RAIDER (2001), with VOLCANO exposing the more tangible truth of everyday life in Iceland of a fisherman (Hannes) and his wife and the driest peak in their lives, where everything they once knew is about to erupt and explode into an even tougher existence than ever before.
At MiiR, we
believe in challenging the status quo. We believe in thinking
differently about what we create and who it may impact. We do this by
making our products highly functional, well designed while giving back
to those in need. We decided to start by making great bottles with
significant purpose behind them.
