In 2001 American artrockers Yo La Tengo were selected by the San Francisco International Film Festival committee to compose new music for the films of Jean Painleve. Their alternately sombre and joyously moody music seemed like a natural fit for Painleve's dramatic underwater studies. The score is available on CD and has just been released on a DVD entitled Science is Fiction, this evening is the first opportunity to hear the material played live by the band and accompanied by the films.
