Sherlock Jr.: Buster Keaton's classic silent film featuring live music by the Hausmann Quartet The Central Library's new Cinema + Sound Series returns with a showing of Buster Keaton’s classic silent comedy Sherlock Jr. with Stephen Prutsman’s musical score. Steve says he has written music that is “reflective in some way of the time the film was made, and the environment of the film itself… I used a language that would have been appropriate at that time, with lots of jokes and gags, and punch points directly connected to the visuals.” The Hausmann Quartet will be joined by pianist Denys Shramko for this performance.

Sequels, reboots, franchises, and songs that remake old songs! Does it feel like everything new in popular culture is just derivative of something else or something old? Contrary to popular belief, the reason is not audiences or marketing, but Wall Street. Join UCSD Media and Popular Culture professor Andrew deWaard for a stimulating discussion of his new book "Derivative Media: How Wall Street Devours Culture" and how hedge funds, asset managers, venture capitalists, private equity firms, and derivatives traders set the tone for the movies, TV, and popular music you enjoy. Professor deWaard shows us how the financial sector is destroying culture by upwardly redistributing wealth. He offers crucial analysis not just for people who oppose corporate behavior for ethical reasons or the takeover of our mediascapes that harms creativity and culture, but also for consumers who simply want to be entertained or have a good time.
