A silent dance film involving San Francisco artists from four disciplines, Greta Schoenberg's 'The Nightingale' combines dance, drama, music and cinematography into a classic film noir-based narrative. In styles ranging from ballet to contemporary, ballroom to burlesque, the choreography is woven seamlessly throughout the story, helping it evolve without dialogue or written word. Supported by an original 'gypsy jazz' score and period lighting, this unique blend of film genres is rich and sensual with an underlying ironic humor that will appeal to diverse audiences.
