Man with a Movie Camera is an experimental 1929 silent documentary film presenting urban life in Moscow and Ukrainian cities with a live musical score performed by Montopolis.

The Montopolis score to Man with a Movie Camera will be performed live at this unique venue, the only Austin performance of their national tour.  Cellist Sara Nelson (Brandi Carlile, David Byrne, Tosca String Quartet) will be joining the group for this show.

Revered as a visual masterpiece and one of the greatest documentary films ever made, Man with a Movie Camera (1929) gives historical context to the current Russian invasion and lays bare the costs of the ongoing humanitarian crisis.

The joyful original score by Montopolis celebrates the beauty and resilience of Ukraine’s people and aims to inspire American audiences to support the country in its time of need.

They will also be performing their live score to Buster Keaton's silent 18-minute film The Scarecrow as an opener.

Cellist Sara Nelson will be joining pianist and composer Justin Sherburn and guitarist Gunner Ross for the Houston performance.
