In celebration of their dual 10-year anniversaries, @BrooklynHorrorFest and The Flushing Remonstrance will present an exciting night of surrealist horror on July 9th at @nitehawkcinema in Williamsburg.

This special live score event features a rare opportunity to see Clive Barker's early experimental horror shorts THE FORBIDDEN and SALOME on the big screen. These raw first films strikingly foreshadow and establish many of the hallmarks of Barker's later work, most specifically Hellraiser. Filling out the program is Salvador Dali/Luis Buñuel's revelatory surrealist body horror classic, UN CHIEN ANDALOU.

Clive Barker has personally authorized The Flushing Remonstrance to create the first-ever score for THE FORBIDDEN, as well as their all-new score for SALOME. This is the world premiere performance for both scores.

ONE NIGHT ONLY. Wednesday, July 7, 2025 at Nitehawk Cinema Williamsburg. Tickets are on sale now.

Join us for a special Pride Month show as The Flushing Remonstrance perform their original live accompaniment to two of the seminal films of queer cinema.

James Sibley Watson and Melville Webber’s “Lot In Sodom” (1933) is a sensual depiction of the biblical story of Sodom and Gomorrah, filled with sinewy and semi-clad bodies, delirious bacchanals devoted to physical pleasure, and a searing, cataclysmic finale depicting the fall of a city devoted to adoration of the flesh.

Alla Nazimova and Charles Bryant’s adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s “Salomé” (1923) also visits the Bible to depict the story of Salomé (Nazimova), who performs the Dance of the Seven Veils for her lustful stepfather King Herod, demanding John the Baptist’s head on a platter as a reward. Featuring stunning costumes and Aubrey Beardsley–inspired art design, and with a (rumored) exclusively gay and bisexual cast, it’s considered to be one of America’s first art films.

ONE NIGHT ONLY! Wednesday, June 25, 2025, 9:30 pm, at Nitehawk Cinema, Williamsburg, 136 Metropolitan Avenue, Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Advance tickets are on sale now.

The Flushing Remonstrance present their all-new score to Dziga Vertov's A Man With A Movie Camera.

A Man With A Movie Camera is a groundbreaking work of both experimental and documentary film, depicting a day in the life of a Soviet city in 1929, using the power of cinema to upend reality in ways that are still dizzying, thrilling, and strangely sexy, dense with ideas and packed with energy. Sight & Sound magazine voted Man With a Movie Camera as the the greatest documentary of all time.

Join us as The Flushing Remonstrance bring this silent film classic to life with a live performance of their vibrant and sensory new score, along with a live score to Fernand Leger's 1924 dada/constructivist classic short Ballet Mécanique.

ONE NIGHT ONLY. Sunday, May 18, 2025, 8:00 pm at The Francis Kite Club, 40 Loisaida Avenue, East Village, NYC. Advance tickets are on sale now ($15 advance, $20 day of show).

Join us for this special program of films personally selected by Guy Maddin for all-new scores composed and performed by The Flushing Remonstrance.

Maddin’s 2003 gothic silent film/ballet Dracula: Pages From A Virgin’s Diary is “arguably the finest adaptation of Bram Stoker’s novel ever filmed … A gorgeously expressionistic fantasia that will appeal even to viewers with zero interest in ballet.” (Mike D’Angelo, AV Club).

Dracula is presented here along with three rare Maddin shorts – Odin’s Shield Maiden, Only Dream Things and Saint, Devil, Woman [Séance] – all with live accompaniment.

“What an unearthly experience, these new scores! The flow! The darkness! The beauty!� A dreamy-dream-dream! SUBLIME!” – Guy Maddin

Join us as The Flushing Remonstrance perform their original live score to Alfred Hitchcock’s The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog.

With The Lodger, his third feature film, Alfred Hitchcock took a major step toward greatness and made what he would come to consider his true directorial debut. This haunting silent thriller tells the tale of a mysterious young man (matinee idol Ivor Novello) who takes up residence at a London boardinghouse just as a killer known as the Avenger descends upon the city, preying on blonde women. The film is animated by the palpable energy of a young stylist at play, decisively establishing the director’s formal and thematic obsessions.

Join us as The Flushing Remonstrance perform their original live score to the Spanish version of Dracula (the film will be screened as a silent with English subtitles).

Shot on the same sets as Tod Browning's Dracula and released in the same year, Universal's Spanish-language take on Bram Stoker's novel is, in some circles, considered to be the superior film, particularly in its cinematography and darker atmosphere. Carlos Villarias gives Bela Lugosi a run for his money as the iconic bloodsucker in a Stoker adaptation that's more sexually charged than its English-language counterpart.

Join us as The Flushing Remonstrance perform their chilling and kaleidoscopic live score to the 1927 silent horror classic The Unknown and legendary surrealist film Un Chien Andalou.

Starring Lon Chaney and Joan Crawford, and directed by Tod Browning (Dracula, Freaks), The Unknown is one of the great silent films, with a startling and intense performance by Chaney as Alonzo, on the run from the law and hiding out in the circus as The Armless Wonder - a performer who uses his feet to hurl knives. Against a background of circus life and the sinister shadow of the underworld, The Unknown is a psychosexual fever dream of love and revenge.

Un Chien Andalou is Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dali's groundbreaking depiction of fetish, religion, and obsessive sexuality that forever changed the aesthetics of film.

One night only! Monday, November 11, 2024 at 8:00 pm. Shows at the LetLove Inn are FREE ADMISSION, with donations appreciated.
