Visual Music explores the relationship between sound and image in contemporary experimental film practice. Dan Shulman-Means, from New York City, will show a silent film and a film with audio dialog and music, to point up the differences between the two approaches to the film medium. Three Bay Area filmmakers, Douglas Katelus, Loren Means, and Theresa Wong, will present their films and create improvised live music sound tracks in real time.

In addition, the Visual Music program includes Selections from the 2007 Northeastern University Visual Music Marathon, a group of short computer animations with either music by the filmmaker or in collaboration with composers. These films come from all over the world. Included will be films by Jean Detheux from Canada, Fran Hartnett and Maura McDonnell from Ireland, and John Banks, Brett Battey, Brian Evans, Betsy Kopmar, Stephanie Maxwell, Dennis H. Miller, Nathaniel Resnikoff, Suzie Silver, and Pierce Warnecke, all from the USA.
