Tango Silent Films is a Portland-based film project dedicated to creating a series of short films inspired by traditional Argentine tango music. The films are short (7-10 minutes) and modeled after classic silent films, but with pepperings of modernity. They feature a motley cast of recurring characters who traipse through th

e Tango Silent Film world having adventures of love, ego and tango that are at once absurd and humorous, poignant, farcical and realistic, frivolous and profound. The company was launched in December of 2009 by Joe Leonardo, and has grown into an enthusiastic team of cast and crew members, drawn entirely from the Argentine tango community of Portland, Oregon. Besides making you laugh and sigh, Tango Silent Films aims to create an outlet for these untapped talents, and to pay homage: to film, to tango, and to the sweet communities, large and small, that cohere for tango all over the world.

Hello all you beautiful people! Good news! We're on the last day of shooting for the next Tango Silent Films episode, and we need your support. We're still looking for more amazing individuals to be background extras. Here are the nitty-gritty details:

-The shoot is on Sunday, July 15th (yup, that's this Sunday!), from approximately noon to 8pm.
-We need members of the Portland tango community. No level of dance is required, but general knowledge of tango culture is helpful.
-No acting experience necessary--just enthusiasm for the project!

If you're at all interested in this, please either message TSF here on Facebook, or email Jenna at [email protected]. Even if you're not sure, we can answer all your questions!

We look forward to hearing from you and are extremely excited about this Sunday!

-The TSF cast and crew
