Film/Video A TRIBUTE TO JACK NITZSCHE (1937-2000) WEDNESDAY-FRIDAY AUGUST 22-24, 2001 8 PM AUDITORIUM Composer Jack Nitzsche was one of pop music's most influential backroom figures, a pioneer who found a way of using what was, for the time, an unusually eclectic musical taste. His innovative score for the 1970 Nicolas Roeg and Donald Cammell film Performance brought him out of the shadows. Perhaps it was rock-star ego strafe that kept Nitzsche in sound-track work for the best part of his later career, but the kind of care and precision he brought to his art undermines the Hollywood norm of emote-by-numbers scoring. With this brief tribute, we salute the rogue composer whose sound-track legacy reads like a roll call of the Hollywood damned. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 22 PERFORMANCE                 THURSDAY, AUGUST 23 HARDCORE                         FRIDAY, AUGUST 24 CUTTER'S WAY              SPECIAL THANKS TO MARILEE WOMACK (WARNER BROS.
