“Sunrise” is considered a masterpiece of silent cinema, representing the zenith of purely visual storytelling. Its groundbreaking techniques in cinematography and special effects tell a story of a marriage threatened by temptation and deadly sin, using intertitles sparingly in favor of action and expressive acting. The result is a superlative work, with all the impressionistic power of poetry.
Live musical accompaniment will be provided by Dennis Scott on the Senate’s Mighty Wurlitzer theater pipe organ. Tickets are $12.00.
Free parking is available in our gated lot on Gilbert, behind the theater.
