Turner Sims, in partnership with the University’s Film and Music departments, presents a three-part series focusing on the film heritage of the First World War.
With introductions to each film, expert insights and guests, including two of the country’s leading silent film score performers, the series of screenings and talks will show the role cinema played in memorialising the war after the armistice, and reflect on cinema’s continued importance to our present day understanding of the conflict.
The Silent Film Fortnight is part of the University’s Great War: Unknown War series of events in the run-up to the anniversary of World War I’s ending in November 2018.
