Magical Projections at Velaslavasay Panorama
AUTOMATA at the Velaslavasay Panorama presents:
Magical Projections (curated by Steve Anker)
Saturday, December 3 at 8 pm
A program of 'trick' films made at the turn of the last century, when cinema was new and everything about it was magical. Fantastical apparitions, impossible occurrences and startling transformations flitted across the screen in a new sleight of hand no one had ever seen before. Filmmakers will include Georges Meiles, Ferdinand Zecca, Louis Feuillade, Emil Cohl, Ladislas Starevitch, Edwin S. Porter, J. Stuart Blackton and D.W. Griffith. With live musical accompaniment by Severin Behnen!
The Velaslavasay Panorama is located at 1122 West 24th Street (between Hoover and Vermont) (323) 377-6049
Tickets $10/ $7 students and members
