Lawrence Arabia is heading to this year's New Zealand International Film Festival.
That's not a misprint about a revival of the classic flick.
No, Lawrence Arabia - as in the Kiwi indie rock star - is heading to this year's NZIFF with this band to perform his new score to a silent movie.
The film is Lonesome directed in 1928 by Paul Fejos which the festival describes as a "lavish New York City symphony, set amidst the mass mania of Coney Island during the Fourth of July holiday".
"The prospect of taking on an entire original film score was totally daunting, but equally there wasn't a chance in hell I was going to say no," he says.
