Mon Feb 14 16:41:33 GMT 2011



The Sounds of Early Cinema in Britain: Performance, Realisation and Reception

Thursday 7thâ??Friday 8th April, 2011, at the Institute of Musical Research (IMR) and the Barbican Centre, London

Speakers include: Professor Rick Altman (University of Iowa), Gillian Anderson (Silent Film Historian and Conductor), Professor James Buhler (University of Texas, Austin)

This AHRC-funded Beyond Text Research Network conference shares its second day (8th April) with the 14th British Silent Film Festival (7thâ??10th April, 2011).

Film score reconstruction: Barbican Cinema, 8 April, 7.30pm
Philip Ellis (Royal Birmingham Ballet) will conduct a reconstruction by Julie Brown (RHUL) of a score by British composer Frederick Laurence for Morozko (Father Frost) (dir. Yuri Zhelyabuzhsky, 1924), a rarely seen and delightful soviet film based on the well-known Russian fairy tale about a stepdaughter who is driven out to face the spirit of winter. Laurenceâ??s charming specially-composed score reflects aspects of 1920s musical modernism and has not been heard since it accompanied the filmâ??s London run in 1925.
