A two-night celebration of music for and inspired by classic films, ScoreFest 2008 (www.thecodeinternational.com/scorefest) kicks off its inaugural year with an exciting mix of performances, screenings and panel
discussions, featuring renowned film and television composers, avant garde musicians and actors as well as surprise celebrity guests. Sponsored by
Electronic Musician Magazine and the Manhattan Producers Alliance, in conjunction with Big Fish Media, the highlight of the festival will be
screenings of "I Married a Monster from Outer Space" (1958) and the "The Taking of Pelham 123" (1974), followed by discussions of the pieces and
"re-visioned" interpretations by The Code Ensemble, led by Grammy-winner Steve Horowitz, best known for his work with "Super Size Me" director Morgan Spurlock. Among the newer pieces presented are "The Re-Taking of Pelham
123", a short film re-vision of the original movie, which played to rave reviews at the Kitchen a few years ago, and the debut of "Invasion from the
Chicken Planet," a hilarious re-vision of "I Married a Monster" and other classic Sci-fi, complete with live actors and the 12-piece Code Ensemble. A
portion of festival proceeds will go to benefit SoundBites music camp for children.
