The Silver Screen: Silent Cinema

Great cinema needs no words!

How did actors make audiences laugh and cry without uttering a single line? And why do films from a century ago still captivate modern viewers?

Lustra Art Club invites you to a silent film evening - a gathering for those who want to witness the birth of cinema and discover the magic of the big screen, free from the usual dialogue and special effects. Come and enjoy the cozy, open-air atmosphere of Dom 36!

Here’s what awaits you at the event:

• A talk on the history and unique characteristics of silent cinema;
• An introduction to the era’s major stars and directors;
• A discussion on why early 20th-century films continue to inspire modern creators;
• A group screening of iconic movies;
• The chance to discuss what you’ve watched in a cozy, home-like atmosphere over tea from a samovar!

Speaker: Dalia Mandaria - film scholar, graduate of Moscow Film School online intensive courses, and lecturer at the Cineflow film club.

Date: July 9, 19:00
