LPA Cinema Series: Greece in Silent Cinema

Ancient Greece held a magical allure for early 20th-century filmmakers.  “Greece in Silent Cinema” screens two silent films from the collection of the Library of Congress: A Slave's Love (1907) and the newly restored Damon and Pythias (1914).  Rob Stone, Moving Image Curator at the Library of Congress, will introduce the films, and Andrew Simpson, Professor of Music at The Catholic University of America will accompany them with new piano scores.
