Thank You to Everyone Who Helped Make 2011's Movies & Music on the Lawn Season a Huge Success!
A BREC facility, Baton Rouge Gallery's ("BRG"), Movies & Music on the Lawn has been a constant staple of summer arts entertainment in Baton Rouge since its beginnings in the late 1980s. With "Slapstickers," the program focuses on the fun and timeless appeal of silent-era slapstick comedy, partnered with the Baton Rouge area's best contemporary musicians who put their own spin on the film's score live.
What sets Movies & Music on the Lawn apart from most other film series is the pairing of silent films with contemporary musicians who are tasked with performing the film's score live. These musicians typically perform both prepared and improvised material that gives the film a completely new context and can only be heard during the Movies & Music on the Lawn screening.
Baton Rouge Gallery would like to thank the sponsors of this year's series:
