Live music for silent films
Cornerhouse Cinema, Manchester
This unique UK Premiere of the Yuri Morozov Archive (Kiev) contains some of the earliest cinematic representations of East European Jewish communities. Black and white silent films as early as 1910 depict the Jews of Ukraine and their daily lives in both narrative and documentary forms. Many of these films have never been seen outside of Ukraine and some have not been screened for over 80 years.

www.cornerhouse.org
I strongly suggest you book in advance. I've turned up before to similar Cornerhouse gigs and not got in on the night.
