Join us in 2026 for our year-long film series REEL REBELS. We’ll be screening films known for their renegade characters, including stories about underdogs fighting the odds, lonely voices crying to be heard, and moviemakers struggling to share their vision. REEL REBELS showcases works from across the globe that prove that movies will always be a home for nonconformists, dissenters, and rebels. The series continues on April 15th with THE PASSION OF JOAN OF ARC a gorgeous silent presented with live accompaniment by Not So Silent Cinema. 𝗧𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝘃𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝘁 countytheater.org/specials
𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗲: Carl Theodor Dreyer constructed one of the most transcendent and rebellious pieces of silent cinema with THE PASSION OF JOAN OF ARC. Chronicling the trial and final hours leading up to her execution for heresy, Dreyer’s experimental approach with expressionistic lighting and intimate close-ups is a master stroke of cinema. Renée Falconetti’s resilient and haunted performance as Joan is one of the most powerful portrayals of the human spirit ever captured on film. Thought to have been lost to a fire, the film’s original version was miraculously found in perfect condition in 1981. Silent w/ live accompaniment.
