Announcing a new season of film screenings: MASTERWORKS OF SILENT CINEMA, 1924–1926

The Last Laugh (dir. F.W. Murnau; Germany, 1924)

MASTERWORKS OF SILENT CINEMA, 1924–1926 - Classics & Rediscoveries

A new season of screenings running from Friday 16th October. See our EVENTS page and social media for details.

We mark 100 years since silent cinema reached its extraordinary peak as an international art form – distinct and different from the sound cinema that dominated screens from the 1930s, and, in some respects, superior. 

This season celebrates both acknowledged masterpieces and bold rediscoveries from across the world, offering a rich cross-section of styles, from realism and psychological drama to avant-garde experimentation.

 A second series of Masterworks of Silent Cinema will follow next year, celebrating the last greats, 1926-1928.
