Live music by the Matti Bye Ensemble
Brazilian director Mário Peixoto’s fascination with an evocative André Kertész photograph was the catalyst for this avant-garde masterpiece—his only completed film. The elements of the narrative—a man and two women adrift in a small boat—are secondary to the visual poetry of this haunting work.

The Matti Bye Ensemble seeks that magical, emotional alchemy between music and images, playing a wide variety of instruments that include piano, glockenspiel, violin, musical saw and percussion. It is led by award-winning film composer Matti Bye, who has been the Swedish Film Institute’s resident silent-movie pianist since 1989. Joining Bye this year are Helena Espvall and Laura Naukkarinen.
