Silent Movie Mondays: Adventure Stories to Silent Classics

movie

With innovative, illusionary cinematic techniques, trick photography with superimposed images, dissolves and cuts - Silent Movie Mondays: Adventure Stories to Silent Classics explores the early works of visionaries who created a science fiction film world from such malleable objects as cardboard cut outs, clay, and cedars. An Arabian prince, an evil sorcerer, underwater adventures, and baby brontosaurus populate the dreamland uncovered in the THE ADVENTURES OF PRINCE ACHMED, 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA, and LOST WORLD, easily some of the eras most innovative forays into science fiction and fantasy filmmaking. Catch these handcrafted films that boldly go where no CGI-laden Star Wars, or Harry Potter movie ever can, an imagined world constructed of the tactile not the digital.
