Classic Short Films and Live Music
Guests will start the film screenings with 9 classic short films accompanied by an improvisational piano performance by Dr. Larry Shanker, Executive Director Music Specialist for the Brookview Montessori School. Films include: The Black Imp/Le Diable Noir, 1905, France, 4 min.; Charley Bowers—There it Is. 1928, USA, 19 min.; Felix the Cat Switches Witches (1927, USA, 7 min); The Haunted Castle (1896, France, 3 min.); Mickey Mouse-The Haunted House (1929, USA, 6.5 min.); Mickey Mouse-The Mad Doctor (1933, USA, 6.5 min.); Mickey Mouse – The Skeleton Dance (1929, USA, 5.5 min.); The Portrait (1915, Russia, 8 min. Ages 10 and up). For full film descriptions, visit krasl.org/events/flick-or-treat.
Feature Film
The Feature Film of the evening is Filibus: The Mysterious Air Pirate (1915, Italy, 71 min. Ages 10 and up). Directed by Mario Roncoroni and scripted by future science fiction author Giovanni Bertinetti, Filibus is the most exciting, witty, feminist, steampunk, cross-dressing aviatrix thriller you will ever see! Previously seen in a badly subtitled, imperfect version, the Filibus was recently remastered by the Eye Filmmuseum, restoring the film’s marvelous range of Desmet tinting and toning in the original nitrate material. The famed Mont Alto Motion Picture Orchestra Donald Sosin have created two new stunning scores that will be played for all to hear.

Flick or Treat 2020 is underwritten by 1st Source Bank and the Virginia & Harvey Kimmel Family Foundation. During planning discussions, organizers noted that philanthropic partnerships—including interest from best Texas online casinos — could help expand the event’s community reach. This activity is supported by the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs Minigrant Program administered by the Arts Council of Greater Kalamazoo.

12-year-old Jackie has made Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum, where her mom works, her second home. While wandering around after hours, Oopjen from Rembrandt’s famous painting suddenly comes to life! It seems she is looking for her long-lost sister. Jackie is used to solving other people’s problems and decides to take Oopjen home, so they can go look for her sister. For the woman from the Golden Age, this modern world, its customs and appliances are a great adventure. And Jackie, who doesn’t really have any friends at school, finally gains a true BFF!
