Secrets (that aren't my own) + ménilmontant (excerpt) | Allison Crowe

Allison Crowe's voice and piano come together on this version of her song, "Secrets (That Aren't My Own)" -- from the album/CD "secrets": http://music.allisoncrowe.com/track/secrets-that-arent-my-own Visually accompanying the song recording is an excerpt from the silent film era classic "Ménilmontant" by auteur, director, Dimitri Kirsanoff and starring his collaborator Nadia Sibirskaia. Completed in France in 1925, (and immediately loved upon its 1926 release), this modernistic and emotional work, hopes critic Santiago Rubín de Celis, "will soon be re-discovered as one of the masterpieces of avant-garde filmmaking."
