Eisenstein's Battleship Motemkin with Cameron Carpenter
http://www.sfsymphony.org/Buy-Tickets/2012-13/Battleship-Potemkin-with-Cameron-Carpenter.aspx

Named the “greatest film of all time” at the Brussels World's Fair in 1958, Battleship Potemkin, directed by Sergei Eisenstein, is considered one of the most influential silent films in history. Eisenstein wrote the screenplay in 1925 as a revolutionary propaganda film, showcasing the mutiny that occurred in 1905 when a crew of the Russian battleship Potemkin rebelled against their officers. Acclaimed Organist Cameron Carpenter brings this monumental film to life, playing the score live while the film is projected above the stage at Davies Symphony Hall.

Psycho Film with the San Francisco Symphony
http://www.sfsymphony.org/Buy-Tickets/2013-2014/Film-Psycho-with-the-SFS.aspx

Lights! Camera! Join the San Francisco Symphony for the launch of a new film series, with one of the most iconic film scores ever created. The partnership between filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock and composer Bernard Herrmann resulted in some of cinema’s greatest musical moments—none more memorable than the famous shower scene in Psycho. Hitchcock himself acknowledged, “33% of the effect of Psycho was due to the music.” Join the SFS and conductor Joshua Gersen for a night at the movies, as the orchestra accompanies this classic thriller live.

Vertigo: Film with the San Francisco Symphony
http://www.sfsymphony.org/Buy-Tickets/2013-2014/World-Premiere-Vertigo-Film-with-the-San-Francisco.aspx

The SF Symphony performs Bernard Herrmann’s score to Hitchcock’s 1958 psychological thriller Vertigo—presented here for the first time with live orchestral accompaniment. No less a cinematic authority than Martin Scorsese praised Herrmann’s stirring soundtrack: “Hitchcock’s film is about obsession, which means that it's about circling back to the same moment, again and again .... And the music is also built around spirals and circles, fulfillment and despair. Herrmann really understood what Hitchcock was going for—he wanted to penetrate to the heart of obsession.”
