Aug. 23-29, "Short Attention Span" will feature Bonnie 'Prince' Billy: "Horses", directed by Braden King.

Short Films with Music by Will Oldham
In anticipation of MOVIE NIGHT WITH WILL OLDHAM on September 18, the IFC Center (NYC) is presenting a series of shorts featuring songs by Oldham's Palace Music and Bonnie 'Prince' Billy.
Wed Aug 23 - Tue Aug 29:
HORSES, directed by Braden King

A prolific and influential musician, Oldham has performed under a multitude of names: Palace, Palace Music, Palace Brothers, Palace Songs, Bonnie Prince Billy and others. He has also been involved in projects and bands such as The Amalgamated Sons of Rest, The Anomoanon and The Boxhead Ensemble. The ghostlike musical intimacy of his quiet singing and the spacey, unobtrusive acoustic accompaniment has garnered Oldham fans worldwide, especially in Ireland and Australia, and inspired some impressive artists to cover his songs. These range from Johnny Cash, whose wife, June Carter Cash, demanded he record Oldham's "I See a Darkness" after hearing it on a mix tape, to the Icelandic pop star Bjork, with whom he sang on the soundtrack of Matthew Barney's DRAWING RESTRAINT 9.
