It’s cold, it’s dark, I’m increasingly tempted by a glass of port before bed: it must be December. And that means it’s time to gather your votes in the annual Silent London Poll. As before, we’re trying to find your favourite silent film and live music show. The only rule is that you must have seen it this year, in the UK.
To get the ballots rolling, I have consulted with some avid silent cinema fans and together we have drawn up a very long shortlist. All you need to do is to vote for the show you enjoyed the most this year, or suggest an alternative. Then tell all your friends to vote too.
The winner will be announced here on this very site, before the year is out.
The length of the list shows just how silent London is becoming! Very hard to chose just one… but the Manxman + Stephen Horne will be hard to beat in terms of pure blend of music and film. No Shlomo + Downhill?
Very hard to choose – you can vote in the “other” section too if you’d like.
I saw half of them but definitely voting for Faust in the Royal Festival Hall
bravo for faust ,the maestro is still admired..warm wishes jackie..

I loved the pleasure garden, and Daniel Cohen’s score, I saw it twice. I would love to be able to get it on cd.
