It’s a rare treat for silent film lovers in Southern California, as Carl Theodor Dreyer’s 1928 film The Passion of Joan of Arc will screen at the Silent Movie Theatre on Monday, November 10 at 8 p.m.

Utilizing
a unique symphonic style, twin brothers Klive and Nigel Humberstone —
who have been providing original electronic/industrial scores for
silent films since their band In The Nursery began their acclaimed
Optical Music Series in 1996 — will provide a live score for The Passion of Joan of Arc,
a mixture of classical film music over military rhythms, to capture the
film’s dramatic highs and lows. Widely considered one of the best European silents, Dreyer’s film details the 15th-century trial and execution of the title
character (brilliantly played by Rene Falconetti), a young maiden who died for France and her God. Tickets for the screening are $12; for more information on the event, and the Silent Movie Theatre in general, click here.
