Nothing like Ivanhoe is a short experimental film that seeks to describe the mechanics of modern film making technique. Investigating sound, music and visual collaboration in what we, the contemporary audience, take for granted as a talking picture. Scoring live from within the frame two composers affect the action onscreen. A cause-effect reversal of recognition evolves from music driving the action at the point of audition. This can imply a new reality or perverted relationship between sound and picture. A historical question of classification regarding melodies and motifs from within the cinema is asked of the audience, all while following queer individuals in their habitat on Austin's east side.
