ACM’s popular Sound of Silent Film Festival is a unique event featuring new short silent films in every conceivable genre screened with newly-composed musical scores performed live.

ACM sources the films through a global call, commissions the composers and their wonderful musicians bring it all to life. Ivonne was commissioned to write music for the film Neighbors by director Noam Argov. In this noir comic-thriller, a woman navigates an envious obsession with the life of her beautiful neighbor.

There are two completely different programs this year and two ways to enjoy them. They will be performed live in Chicago in the VIN312 parking lot with limited seating, followed by a virtual presentation a week later.
