Tonight’s topic, Music and Your Film– How Soundtracks Can Make or Break a Scene, will feature local composer Annie Brunson sharing her experiences and wisdom on setting the mood to a film. There will also be a couple of reps from Apple telling you about some of their amazing programs that can help you create your own soundtrack!

For those not familiar with the Salons, they provide an opportunity for Birmingham’s filmmaking community to meet, greet, listen and discuss. According to Sidewalk’s description, “Guest speakers and topics provide a focus to each meeting, while the social environment of Rojo gives friends and colleagues a reason to get together monthly to talk about upcoming projects.” So head on over there!

Part of the Steak Verhoeven Film Club’s ongoing series at Rojo in Highland Park, this film helps us all celebrate Halloween in that deeply psychological way that makes all the sense in the world (sort of). Here’s the description of the 1971 film courtesy of the email announcing the event:

A woman released from a mental hospital moves to an old countryside house with her husband and a friend to recuperate, but begins having strange visions and experiences around the property. Is there really something strange happening, or is it all in her in mind?

Rojo has promised Halloween shooters, candy and caramel apples. It’s just one of several options to entertain yourselves on Halloween night. You could also always check out the film’s fansite.
