About this Event
Please join us for a rare screening of L'Inferno (1911) with an original live score by Lori Goldston & Corey J Brewer.
L'Inferno is a visionary landmark film that shaped the language of cinema from DeMille to Lynch. Acclaimed cellist and composer Goldston—who toured with Nirvana, appears on their MTV Unplugged album, and has collaborated with David Byrne, Earth, Terry Riley, Lynn Shelton, and many more—joins forces with musician/ film composer Brewer, whose score for The Shining Forwards and Backwards helped launch Portland Art Museums Tomorrow Theater in 2023. Together they reimagine Italy's first feature film in a spellbinding performance not to be missed.
Sunday February 8 2026
Doors at 7PM
Performance begins at 7:30
Please use rideshare or light rail -- limited street parking

About Corey J Brewer
“Seattle keyboardist/ vocalist/ composer Corey J Brewer has proved himself adept at scoring films with his alternate soundtrack to Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining at Northwest Film Forum last year and appearances at Andrew Crawshaw’s :||Depths||: night at Substation. And the skills that he flexed in those contexts surface on his new album, Upside Down Tulip. On these nine songs, Brewer sings in his deep, glum voice (think Stephin Merritt and Tindersticks’ Stuart Staples) over enigmatic keyboard progressions and drones, and rhythms that both snake with quasi-gamelan litheness and rejuvenate triphop tropes. Brewer’s compositions embrace romantic moods while eluding clichéd evocations of this common songwriting construct. That takes serious skill.” - Dave Segal, The Stranger.
