  about us

There are a lot of really great  movies that don't get shown so much. It's true that for modern audiences used to a million  dollars worth of computer aided effects older movies sometimes seem a little slower, but the fact remains that there are a lot of great old movies that you really shouldn't miss, and the Parr Project is about helping those movies reach you.


LIVE MUSIC.    

First and foremost we are about the music. Movies live with music, and whether it's our own music specially composed for the movie or the original soundtrack, we will be performing it live, right in front of you.

SPECIAL EDITS

Sometimes older movies need 'accelerating' a little to get them up to modern speed. When necessary we specially edit movies to make them a little more watchable for amodern audience.

BE PREPARED....LIVING MOVIES.

We try to create a special atmosphere with our very own 1920's film crew - so you might just find out yourself what making a 1920's movie, or being a silent movie star is really like.

If that isn't enough, we also promise that you will be watching movies in a way that you have never watched them before...



We want you - our audience - to become the stars of the performance and to help our movies live.  For every project we will be providing a dress code and tips on how to become part of the project. Check it out here....

WHO ARE WE?

The Parr Project was set up by Oliver Parr and Hester van Ooteghem. Oliver is a professional musician who has been solo cellist of the Remix Ensemble Casa da Musica since 2000, one of Europe's foremost contemporary music groups. Hester comes from a theater background and has tinkered with movie making (amongst other things). Oliver writes the music, and Hester comes up with all sorts of weird and wonderful ideas, and it more or less seems to work quite well.
