SUMMARY:Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans (Live Music & Film)
DESCRIPTION:Live music & film at Turner Sims\nCert U | 1927 | Dir. F. W. Murnau| Drama | USA | 1hrs 37 mins\n\nThis lyrical masterpiece from the director of Nosferatu\, a pinnacle of silent cinema\, is a study of betrayal\, love and reconciliation.\n  \nSunrise (1927) is a landmark film in cinematic history that won the first Academy Award for “Best Unique and Artistic Picture” and received awards for Best Cinematography at the first-ever Academy Awards ceremony. It is often considered one of the greatest films ever made\, known for its romantic drama\, emotional intensity\, and groundbreaking cinematography.   \n \n“Seduced by a vamp from the city\, an unsophisticated farmer in a country village plans to murder his wife. However\, on their journey to reach town\, the couple rediscover their love for each other in a dazzling jazz age sequence. With its dreamlike realism\, fluid camera work and simple\, intense images of unequalled beauty\, this adds up to one of the most enchanting experiences in the history of cinema.” \nThis screening features live multi-instrumental accompaniment from Stephen Horne on piano and Elizabeth-Jane Baldry on harp. \n  \nStephen has long been internationally considered one of the leading silent film accompanists. Although principally a pianist\, he often incorporates other instruments into his performances\, sometimes simultaneously. A house pianist at London’s BFI Southbank for thirty-five years\, he has played at all the major UK venues and recorded music for scores of silent films. He regularly performs internationally and his accompaniments have met with acclaim at many film festivals across Europe and North America\, as well as Asia and North Africa. Discover more about Stephen on his website – stephenhorne.co.uk \nElizabeth-Jane Baldry is an English harpist who performs internationally. Her compositions have been used by ITV\, the BBC\, and Irish\, Japanese\, Danish\, and Canadian film\, radio and television. She is the only silent movie harpist in the world performing live to cinema screenings of early film. A passionate nature-lover\, she is lucky enough to own a magical ten acre wood in the Dartmoor National Park where she grows trees\, keeps bees\, and brews tea in a twig kettle. You can read more about her on her website – elizabethjanebaldry.com \n“Murnau’s greatness lies in this realization – that it is possible to photograph the real world and yet invest it with a variety of poetic\, imaginative\, and subjective qualities.” – David Thomson \nBOOK YOUR TICKET

SUMMARY:THE MARK OF ZORRO with live musical accompaniment
DESCRIPTION:THE MARK OF ZORRO \nCert U | 1920 | Dir. Fred Niblo | Adventure/Western/Romance | USA | 80 mins \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nSilent feature screening with live musical accompaniment \nThis genre-defining swashbuckler adventure is considered to be the world’s first action adventure film and the first time the iconic masked hero was portrayed on screen. \nFred Niblo’s The Mark of Zorro (1920) not only gave birth to a genre but established a new persona for star Douglas Fairbanks. Just like Fairbank’s masked hero the film catapulted him from standard film actor to one of Hollywood’s first superstars. Elements of the film and Fairbanks’ portrayal would later inspire Bob Kane’s most famous of heroes\, Batman. \nSet in Spanish California\, Fairbanks portrays Don Diego Vega\, a comically effete young nobleman with a taste for tasselled sombreros and juvenile silk-hanky magic tricks. But when danger calls\, Diego swathes himself in black\, straps on a well-honed sword and storms the countryside as the mysterious Zorro. Slicing his initial into the faces of the “sentinels of oppression” and pausing only to boldly romance the woman (Marguerite De La Motte) to whom his shy alter-ego can hardly summon the courage to speak. \nThe Mark of Zorro is an uplifting escape adventure with the thrills which would be copied the world over throughout the rest of the history of cinema. \nThis special screening is co-produced by Turner Sims with Southampton Film Week in partnership with South West Silents. Live musical accompaniment comes from pianist Meg Morley and drummer Emiliano Caroselli. \nMeg Morely is an Australian-born\, UK-based pianist\, composer and improviser. Meg creates music within diverse artistic genres (silent film\, contemporary dance and ballet\, solo piano\, contemporary jazz ensembles and electronic music). Classically-trained from the age of two\, Meg has worked with various dance companies (English National Ballet\, Rambert Company\, Matthew Bourne\, Pina Bausch). She performs and composes for international film festivals and institutions (BFI\, Nederlands Silent Film Festival\, Kino Lorber). She recently released a second album with Meg Morley Trio (Richard Sadler on bass\, Emiliano Caroselli on drums) who have also recorded and toured her original scores for silent film. \n  \n  \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n
