The Sound of Silent Film Festival

Bring your family to experience something truly special at this festival celebrating silent films in a whole new way. You'll watch short films spanning every imaginable genre—from comedy to drama and beyond—just as audiences did over a century ago. The magic here is in the live musical accompaniment: each film is paired with a newly-composed score performed right before your eyes, creating an experience that feels both timeless and fresh. This is a wonderful introduction to cinema history for kids and adults alike. Silent films are wonderfully expressive and visual, making them engaging even for younger viewers, and the live music adds an energy that brings each story to life in unexpected ways. It's a chance to appreciate filmmaking as an art form while enjoying the special atmosphere that only live performance can create.
