    Film with Live Score by Ensemble N_JP. A Page of Madness–World Premiere, dir. Teinosuke Kinugasa, Japan, 1926, 35mm, 85 mins, b/w, silent with live score. Ensemble N_JP (Japan/US). Co-presented by the Philadelphia Film Society as part of the 2010 Philadelphia Film Festival and supported by the Japan Foundation through the Performing Arts JAPAN program. A Page of Madness is a collaborative work of Philadelphia composer Gene Coleman and Japanese artist Akikazu Nakamura, commissioned by IHP for the Movement program. The two created a new musical composition for the 1926 Japanese silent film A Page of Madness. This performance re-imagines the role of contemporary music in the interpretation and presentation of historic films. In keeping with the way silent films were presented in Japan, spoken text in Japanese and English are used as part of the score.
