Black Francis to compose/ provide live accompaniment to silent movie for SFIFF ‘08

As part of this year’s San Francisco International Film Festival.

Black Francis (of the Pixies, aka Frank Black) will be composing and performing live accompaniment to the Golem, a 1920 German silent horror film, as a part of the fest. This will all take place at 9:30pm on Friday, April 25 at the Castro Theater.

The SFIFF does something like this pretty much every year. I saw Jonathan Richman do Phantom Carriage last year and American Music Club do Street Angel a few years back. Those have both been pretty great audio/ visual experiences and I expect The Golem may be as well.

Tickets go on sale tomorrow.
