Talks & Lectures

Field & Folk With post screening Q&A

Through the voices of farmers, historians, conservationists, and local people, the film reveals how centuries of working the land have shaped the hills, fields, and villages we see today. As the seasons turn, it explores the challenges facing rural life — from changing farming practices to environmental pressures — while celebrating those who are working to care for the land and keep its traditions alive. Join us after the screening for a Q&A (line-up TBC).

Three Bad Men (1926) With live piano score by Meg Morley

A new series of silent-era classics arrives at The Pound Arts Centre, all accompanied by live piano score performed by BFI Southbank’s resident pianist Meg Morley. Since performing for her first silent film in 2016, Meg has quickly become one of the UK’s pre-eminent silent film accompanists, performing at various international film festivals and playing reguarly at the London Cinema Museum. In the 1870s, gold is discovered in the Dakota Territory, and wanted men Bull Stanley (Tom Santschi) and Mike Costigan (J. Farrell MacDonald) join thousands of other pioneers on a westward journey in search of wealth. Soon, Bull and Mike see a gang of thugs attacking Lee (Olive Borden), a young woman. They rescue her, but her father is killed during the assault, so Mike and Bull become her guardians. Before long, Bull and Mike leave their criminal pasts behind and devote themselves to Lee.
