weekend awesomeness

Finally! After five years, we got to watch some of the featured films in this year’s International Silent Film Festival held at the Shangril-la.

The first film we got to see was Spain’s ‘La Casa de la Troya’ (The House of Troy); a 1925 silent film which was a rom-com. Hahaha.  Background music was played LIVE nad featured SinosiKat and Spain’s Ignacio Plaza.

oh, look -- it's us! =P (look closely,or click to enlarge photos, pal. hahaha)

The second film we did get to see was USA’s “Safety Last” (1923) – a comedy which featured Radioactive Sago Project as musical accompaniment (live again).  AWESOMENESS!!!!! =)

By the way, the movie was really funny and really cool for a film in that era.  The lead actor, Harold Lloyd, was great, too.  Now I’m aiming to see more silent films, specially with Charlie Chaplin in it.

I remember while watching the film it kinda gives me the creeps knowing that maybe almost all of the people I’m seeing in the film were dead already. =P

I can’t describe how cool it is watching those “authentic” silent movies and seeing pinoy bands play alongside.
I cannot wait until the next silent film fest.  Thanks to Instituto Cervantes and the organizers of the SFF for the photos. =)
