Synchronicity Performance Group (Atlanta - Little 5 Points, Grant Park, East Atlanta)
How do you face your children when you can’t face down your demons? On her first day back from a tour of duty in Iraq, Jenny Sutter isn’t ready to go home. She escapes to Slab City, a concrete garden of
wandering souls. The strange assortment of residents, including a pleasure-addicted maven with a gambling problem and an unlikely preacher might just be the key to bring Jenny’s spirit back from the war and lead the way home.

Arts at Emory (Atlanta - All Other Atlanta)
(“Hong Xia,” Wen Yimin, black and white, silent with English intertitles, 1929, 90 minutes). Episode six of “Red Knight-Errant,” also known as “Red Heroine,” the only surviving episode of the
13-part serial, is also one of the few complete and earliest extant silent martial arts films. A band of outlaws raids a village and kidnaps a maiden, causing the death of the young woman's grandmother. The captive maiden is rescued by a mysterious Daoist hermit and re-emerges three years later as a full-fledged warrior, flying to the sky to revenge her grandmother's death. While generously sprinkled with anachronisms and prurient incongruities (imagine a bandit's harem of beauties in bikinis!), the film remains a robust telling of a young woman's transformation from abject victim to resolute warrior. The DME offers a very unique multimedia experience, presenting a synthesis of live music and movie to entertain and inspire audiences. Recent performances by the DME have taken place at The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington D.C., the Chicago Cultural Center, the Dallas Museum of Art, the Silent Movie Theatre in Los Angeles CA, the Museum of Fine Arts Boston MA, the Caixa Forum in Barcelona Spain and the Danish Film Institute in Denmark. The greatest asset of the DME is their ability through music to control the audiences’ responses to what is being presented to them visually via a silent film. Audience members often forget that a live band is playing the soundtrack and are all of sudden snatched out of the suspension of disbelief to see exactly how the music for the film is unfolding before their eyes. It’s a thrilling effect. This screening is co-sponsored by the Emory College Center for Creativity & Arts, the Department of Film Studies, REALC (Department of Russian and East Asian Languages and Cultures), the Confucius Institute of Emory University, the Department of Theater Studies and the Department of Music.
