Event Details

The Secret Cinema will revisit an unusual program concept not tapped since we last used it 16 years ago: EARLY EDUCATIONAL: CLASSROOM FILMS OF THE SILENT ERA. These ultra-rare reels, most of which haven't otherwise been seen in about a century, are still potent in their powers to entertain, amuse, and yes, educate modern-day viewers about a variety of subjects. The various short films, most of which were made in the 1920s, include now ancient travels to distant lands, historical dramatizations, looks at industry and nature studies. This silent film presentation will not be silent, as expert organist Don Kinnier will bring the movie to life with his accompaniment on our recently restored 1902 Haskell pipe organ. Please note that this event will take place in the art gallery on the second floor of the building, which has stair access only.  Doors open at 7:00pm for check-in and self guided tours of the mansion. The screening begins at 7:30pm. Please contact Arts & Culture Program Officer Isabel with questions: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
