Access Contemporary Music’s popular Sound of Silent Film Festival is a unique event featuring new short silent films in every conceivable genre screened with newly-composed musical scores performed live. Gilbert Galindo was commissioned to write music for “The Stain”, a short film without dialogue by Brian Petchers in which a neighborhood hate crime leads to a mother’s painful discovery about her teenage son. A live performance of the music by Access Contemporary Music will occur with the premiere of the film.
