The Speakeasy Show, by Astral Projections
Jazz Age Treasures from the Dennis Nyback ArchiveDecember 12, 2024
Grand Illusion CinemaSeattle, WA
A program of shorts from the 1920s and 1930s, curated and presented by Astral Projections of Portland, OR.
Calling all bims and brunos! Astral Projections visits from Portland to open a 16mm speakeasy right in the Grand Illusion.
Drawing from the legendary archive of Dennis Nyback, they’ll whisk you back to a 1920s smoky cocktail lounge, where the waiters, entertainers, and even your food wear roller skates. Garrett Schroeder and Ioana Cherascu have cooked up a hotsy-totsy rumpus of shorts featuring animation, sing-alongs, and stories from nearly a century ago. You’ll be wooed by crooners, wowed by jazz, and awed by death-defying daredevils!
So hop in your steamer and come on down to a time of ecstasy and excess, of sorrow and blues. More fun than a zozzled rub in a breezer — it’s the beginning of life as we know it.
