Back by popular demand! Helix Collective’s 10-piece film-music ensemble performs music from the innovative films of the 1920-80s by composers from the former Soviet Union. The program presents music from iconic films including “It’s a Wonderful Life” with a score by Dimitri Tiomkin, "Man with a Movie Camera," one of the earliest depictions of the cities of Ukraine on film, “The Gadfly” with music by Dimitri Shostakovich, "The Cranes are Flying" and "The Snowstorm". Film highlights accompany the original soundtracks, songs, and the most striking moments from the films. Join us for special Victory Day in Europe celebrations during the show! Free and open to the public - no RSVP required. This program is supported in part by an arts grant from the City of West Hollywood.
