V. Motta: Mary Jane's Mishap

The composer, Vinícius Motta, writes:

"Experience the wacky live score accompanying the silent classic "Mary Jane's Mishap" (1903) in this special presentation! Commissioned by the esteemed Birmingham Flatpack Film Festival and featured in their May 2023 program, this original score adds a quirky twist to the viewing experience. Inspired by the film's comedic charm, I embarked on a creative journey to craft a soundtrack that would elicit laughter and delight. With unconventional instrumentation and playful sounds, the performance captivated audiences, prompting laughter from start to finish. Wacky music!"
