UPDATE: This event is now sold out. Join us for a captivating evening of short silent films exploring the melodramatic mode, with original scores performed by students from the Oberlin Conservatory of Music on violin, oboe, and keyboards.

The program includes Mary Pickford in a new restoration of An Arcadian Maid (1910), the historical drama The Assassination of the Duke of Guise (1908) featuring an original score by Camille Saint-Saëns, the 1928 film adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Fall of the House of Usher,” episode 2 of the French protonoir crime serial Les Vampires (1915), and Charlie Chaplin in the Keystone Studios comedy The Face on the Barroom Floor (1914).
