SCREENING: Landmarks of French Avant-Garde Film (Shorts; total running time, 115 minutes)

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, entitled MASTERWORKS OF SILENT CINEMA, 1924–1926: Classics & Rediscoveries c elebrates 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. LANDMARKS OF FRENCH AVANT-GARDE FILM Ballet mécanique (dir. Fernand Léger, 1924). 16 mins. La Coquille et le Clergyman [ The Seashell and the Clergyman ] (dir. Germain Dulac, 1923). 40 mins. Paris qui dort [ The Crazy Ray ] (dir. René Clair, 1924). 59 mins. Realism and logical narrative were never the only directions cinema could take. In 1920s France, images danced, feminists took revenge, and Paris succumbed to surreal comic chaos. This programme gathers three of the best, from a decade of great achievement for French avant garde and artist cinema. Léger’s 1924 Ballet mécanique was inspired by Chaplin as much as by Cubism and other movements. La Coquille et le Clergyman , from a script by theatre radical Antonin Artaud, first shown in 1928, provoked controversy for its woman director, Germaine Dulac, a long-over-shadowed, key pioneer of the avant-garde .

SCREENING: Greed (dir. Erich von Stroheim; USA, 1924). 140 mins. (reconstruction)

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, entitled MASTERWORKS OF SILENT CINEMA, 1924–1926: Classics & Rediscoveries c elebrates 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. The holy grail of all cinema historians and archivists. Perhaps the greatest film ever made is the original 8-hour version of Von Stroheim's excoriating, ultra-realist film, Greed , luminously photographed by William Daniels (Greta Garbo's favourite cinematographer). We show the version cut by MGM in 1924 -- not the grail, but a compelling film experience, too rarely seen. The search continues for the still-missing 4 hours of footage (some has been found). Introduced by curators Dr. Joss Marsh & David Francis OBE There will be a 10-minute interval, during which snacks will be available. Doors open 5.30, for drinks & nibbles. Films start 6.30 with a brief introduction from the curators. Entry is free with a yearly ticket, although we suggest a small donation of £5 per head to help us keep the lights on! Yearly tickets giving full access to the museum can be purchased on the door (£7.50 adult / £6.00 concessions).
