The Indie Grits Festival has taken Columbia by storm this week.  One of the main show stopping events was Cinemovements.

From their site:

“Morihiko Nakahara, the esteemed South Carolina Philharmonic’s beloved, quirky conductor, will lead musicians from the SC Phil in a collection hand-picked compositions. Brand new silent films, commissioned by Indie Grits, will accompany the SC Phil’s performance. Film and music will collide for a rare multi-media happening.”

Cinemovements occurred on Wednesday April 25th, and we were there to snap some pictures for your pleasure!
