DESCRIPTION:LOOP Presents: Soundies! is an cinematic jukebox of rare musical films from 
 the origins of sound on film until it's decline with Scopitone technology. 
 The film series is in connection with the Berkeley Underground Film Society 
 at The Tannery in Berkeley, CA. A musical Kaleidoscope of film shorts, this 
 program highlights the earliest examples of sound on film until it's 
 decline. \n\nIn 1919 and 1920,the Phonofilm system, which recorded 
 synchronized sound directly onto film, was used to record vaudeville acts, 
 musical numbers, political speeches, and opera singers. The quality of 
 Phonofilm was poor at first, improved somewhat in later years,\nbut was 
 never able to match the fidelity of sound-on-disc systems such as 
 Vitaphone, or later sound-on-film systems such as RCA Photophone or Fox 
 Movietone. In 1928, the sound-on-film process RCA Photophone was adopted by 
 newly created studio RKO Radio Pictures and by Paramount Pictures. 
 \n\nSoundies were three-minute musical films, produced in New York City, 
 Chicago, and Hollywood, between 1940 and 1946, often including short dance 
 sequences, similar to later music videos. Scopitone is a type of jukebox 
 featuring a 16 mm film component. Scopitone films were a forerunner of 
 music videos. The Italian Cinebox/Colorama and Color-Sonics were competing, 
 lesser-known technologies of the time. \n\n------------------
