7.00 pm - Silents in the City: Autumn and Winter, at the Pitt Street Uniting Church

SUPPORT TRADEWINDS and EAST TIMOR PROJECT
264 Pitt Street Sydney Inquiries 0419 267 318
Film screenings commence 7 pm. Tickets $20/$15 concession and children

Silent Film Australia Ltd., presenter of Australia’s Silent Film Festival, and the Pitt Street Uniting Church are proud to host a season of restored silent film classics and live music to support Tradewinds and its not for profit project in East Timor

Australia’s Silent Film Festival is pleased to present monthly evening screenings of classic silent films in the city as a lead-up to the 2010 Festival in September.

David Bailey, the acclaimed young Australian theatre organist with many outstanding performances at GOMA silent film events in Brisbane, will be playing the Uniting Church’s 1910 Hill & Son organ for three of the five sessions, as outlined below. The other two screenings will be accompanied by internationally acclaimed pianist, Mauro Colombis, whose playing has already thrilled audiences at silent film festivals in Italy, and who has brought his special talents to Australia.

Each silent film, presented digitally every month from April to August 2010, is a classic melodrama of the 1920s, having become timeless over the decades due to its high quality of production and ever-popular themes.

Program:
Friday, April 30 at 7pm
Short:  Men of Timor (1942) Damien Parer 8 minutes. Sound. Cinesound Movietone Productions
Damien Parer was Australia’s leading war photographer who captured raw human emotions and unforgettable images with his camera right in the middle of the action. This famous newsreel sheds light on Australian soldiers behind enemy lines in Timor during World War II.

A Debt of Honour (2005 – Australia) Trailer Duration: 5 minutes Let’s Play Productions

Silent: The Cat and the Canary, (1927) 85 minutes, with David Bailey on organ.
Remade several times, this is the classic gothic horror/black comedy murder mystery inside an eerie old house, during a thunderstorm at night. A young woman (played by Laura La Plante) is frightened by strange events in the house, apparently because she is the heir of her uncle’s fortune. Is she crazy, or is it all due to the uncle’s ghost, an escaped lunatic or one of her jealous relatives?



Tradewinds Fairtrade Organic coffees and teas available for nominal charge from 6.15pm each evening.
