Zoom Family Film Festival, the flagship event in the Wex's program of cultural offerings for all ages, takes place on Saturday, December 8, offering a full morning and afternoon of fun events and international films for kids of all ages. Sue Harshe, Columbus musician and cofounder of the seminal band Scrawl, has been a regular Zoom collaborator on live, original soundtracks for silent films. The music you just heard is from one of Sue’s Zoom soundtracks, and she’ll be back this year to live-accompany the Buster Keaton comedy classic, Sherlock Jr. on Saturday the 8th at 4 PM.
For this Wexcast, Sue sits down with associate film/video curator Chris Stults to discuss her process for creating new soundtracks for works from the early days of cinema.
