ACM’s popular Sound of Silent Film Festival, now in its 21st year, is a unique event featuring new short silent films – spanning comedy, drama, experimental and beyond –  screened with newly-composed musical scores performed live.

We sourced the films through an international call and ten were selected out of more than a hundred submissions.  

The festival takes place at the Music Box Theatre—one of Chicago’s true cinematic treasures—on Wednesday, April 8th at 7:30 PM.
