Immerse yourself in the golden age of cinema with screenings of Safety Last (May 1), The General (June 5) and Charlie Chaplin Shorts (July 10). Each film will be screened in the Orpheum’s opulent domed auditorium, with the Mighty Wurlitzer – a pipe organ originally developed to accompany silent films – playing a dramatic accompaniment. The Orpheum’s Wurlitzer is one of only 12 theatre organs worldwide that remains in its original home.
Following each screening, Vancouver Film School will host a lively discussion of the movie and the role of silent films in the evolution of film history. The premier show, Safety Last, will be introduced by a special guest – Suzanne Lloyd, granddaughter of the film’s lead actor, Harold Lloyd, who is widely considered among the most influential comedians of the silent film era.
Tickets on sale March 14 at 10am from Ticketmaster. Available for $16.
