This week EXILE Books partners with the Lowe art museum for the launch of The ID Project - a pop-up exhibition and experimental space that will remain open until April of next year. The project explores notions of identity through art and written word by encouraging visitors to reflect and explore the topic with interactive media and identity-centric books and zines available in the EXILE library. 

Opening night also includes several interactive activities, including the creation of self-portraits, poetry, 3D paper masks, and a personal musical beat that allows visitors to engage in the self-reflection on the subject matter. 

The ID Project is co-curated by Jill Deupi, Beaux Arts Director and Chief Curator of the Lowe; Cristina Favretto, Head of Special Collections at University of Miami; and Amanda Keeley, Founder of EXILE Books.

Celebrate Halloween with the world premiere screening of a dual presentation of Dracula presented by Miami Beach Cinematheque and Obsolete Media Miami.

In 1931 Universal Studios produced two versions of the classic tale of Dracula, one in English and one in Spanish, on the same set with two different directors and casts. There are differing opinions of each version - the Spanish version is noticeably longer yet favored for its use of music and varied use of the set. 

OMM's Barron Sherer has mixed the soundtracks so that for one night, audiences can watch the two films simultaneously and determine which is the leading film. 

Dracula is directed by Tod Browning and stars Bela Lugosi as Dracula. Drácula is directed by George Melford and Enrique Tovar Ávalos. Carlos Villarias stars as Conde Drácula.
