📅 Saturday, April 25, 2026Step into the world of silent cinema with a special screening of Queen Kelly (1929), brought to life with a stunning live piano accompaniment by acclaimed silent film musician Makia Matsumura.
Starring Gloria Swanson and directed by Erich von Stroheim, Queen Kelly is a visually striking and emotionally charged drama that follows a convent girl swept into a scandalous royal affair, only to be cast into a harsh and unexpected new life in East Africa.
