The Diary of a Lost Girl, the once controversial and still sensational silent film starring Louise Brooks, will be shown on Sunday, October 29th as part of the Stroud Art Festival in the UK. This special screening will be accompanied, uniquely so, by a harpist, Elizabeth-Jane Baldry. More information about this event can be fond HERE.
According to its website, the "unabashedly eclectic" Stroud Festival "weaves music, movement, song and film" in a journey across a the arts. Here is what they say about this event:
Stroud Arts Festival Presents
Silent Film: Diary of a Lost Girl
With live accompaniment from harpist Elizabeth-Jane Baldry
venue - Lansdown hall
Silent film with live music – why is it such a good night out?
Ask last year’s Stroud audience – it’s the sheer, extraordinary talent of Elizabeth-Jane Baldry!
This year we welcome her back to the Lansdown Hall with another iconic
black and white silent film, powerfully enhanced by her specially
composed score which she plays live throughout the screening.
A late masterpiece of the silent era, and a tragic story of corruption
and middle class hypocrisy in pre-Nazi Germany, this film and its star,
Louise Brooks, has gained cult status with film-lovers through the
ages.
