The Artist

See and hear  the silent movie ‘The Artist’ in the magical surroundings of the 1911 Electric Palace Cinema in Harwich Essex.

The ‘glowing’ black & white movie will be projected on to the original 1911 Silent Screen using the newly installed 2011 digital projector. The musical soundtrack will come from the sound system relocated to the auditorium ‘orchestra pit’ -exactly where the original live musicians would have played. As far as we know this is the only cinema where you will be able to experience this unique way of presenting this outstanding film.

The multiple BAFTA-winning , multiple Oscar- nominated silent sensation will be screened at the Electric Palace on Friday March 2nd at 7.30pm, Saturday March 3rd at 2.30pm and 7.30pm, and Sunday March 4th at 2.30pm and 7.30pm. If demand exceeds this capacity further shows will be slotted in at 5.00pm on the Saturday and Sunday.

There is an article in the Harwich and Manningtree Standard that you can find here.
