Night Of Noir: Hangover Square & Theremin Noir @ UVM Recital  Hall

This is quite the evening we have planned! Partnering for the first time with UVM's Lane Series, we'll open VTIFF with an exciting event celebrating the sounds and images of film noir. We begin with a screening of the seldom-seen 1945 noir film, Hangover Square, starring Laird Cregar, Linda Darnell, and George Saunders and featuring a score by the great Bernard Herrmann.

After the film, the exceptional trio Theremin Noir (Rob Schwimmer, Theremin/Haken Continuum; Sara Caswell, violin; Uri Cain, piano), will perform a live concert featuring the works of Herrmann including pieces from such unforgettable films as Marnie, Vertigo, and Psycho, as well as original works by these three masterful musicians.
