Lightmare, an experimental film by Josh Drake with music by Peri Mauer will be featured in Access Contemporary Music's Sound of Silent Film Festival, the only film festival in the country that features new scores performed live to modern silent films on May 20, 2023, 8pm, Symphony Space Thalia, 2537 Broadway at 96th Street, NYC. The filmmaker writes: "Lightmare was inspired by a group of youths who used to race motorcycles by my house. The film attempts to capture the anxiety of the neighborhood, using negative space as a mask to subvert the audiences expectations of horizon and depth. In contrast, much of the content underscores the triviality of the perceived threat."
