A quietly beautiful Indian drama exploring the ebb and flow of traditions … Like master filmmakers Edward Yang and Hou Hsiao-hsien, Mishra understands how cinematic aesthetics can beautifully mirror the invisible momentum of time.” – Glenn Heath Jr., The Film Stage

The Philosophical Research Society proudly welcomes the return of Switched on Cinema, an ongoing screening series which pairs eclectically curated films with live scores by electrifying modular synthesizer composers. The brainchild of dj A/D of KSPC’s Synthdactyl Program, Switched on Cinema’s mission is to highlight the many talented electronic artists in Southern California’s music scene, pairing them with exciting film selections which, through live film scores, will showcase their expansive artistry.

With this very special event – their sophomore outing – Switched on Cinema cements the expansive range of their vision, transporting us from their inaugural screening/live score of Tomu Uchida’s 1962 medieval-Japan set supernatural, romantic tragedy The Mad Fox to the astonishing, tender, and meditative 2019 debut feature from 23-year old Indian writer/director Achal Mishra, THE VILLAGE HOUSE (GAMAK GHAR) – set to a tag-teamed, blissful and transcendent ambient live score by talented electronic artists Estevan Carlos Benson and duo Emma Palm & Marc Merza.Thank you to both the PRS and Switched On Cinema for making this evening available to Living Earth’s membership and our friends!
