New screening listed at the Barbican for February: http://www.barbican.org.uk/film/event-detail.asp?ID=11686
Thanks James. February is shaping up to be an interesting month.
Really helpful calendar thanks very much! x
Really pleased to see that you’ve taken this on. Good luck!
Luke
Thanks. There is a lot to keep track of, but that’s a good thing, of course.
How come nobody’s ever screening “The Crowd” by King Vidor? You should try to get the DVD publishers and the movie theaters to finally get you a copy of this amazing film. Same thing for “The Wind” by Victor Sjöström. We never get to see them in France either !
You have a wonderfull blog. Keep on posting!
There was a screening of “The Crowd” at The BFI in London a couple of years ago. I think that “The Wind” was shown in London fairly recently.
nothing happening in january? this is the only month i’m staying in england. so sad…
Watch this space, Tamy – I’m confident there will be some silents announced for January 2012 soon.
We’ll be having a special ‘Not so silent movies’ at Kings Place Hall One on June 29th at 8pm. Thanks to everyone who came yesterday – 3 sellout shows in a row! Philip
Hither Green Hall Cinema (www.hithergreenhall.org) is very excited to be showing a triple bill of films on the 8th January. We have ‘The Champion’ with Charlie Chaplin, ‘Two Tars’ with Laurel & Hardy and ‘The Boat’ with Buster Keaton.
Hope to see you there.
