The sensational 1929 Louise Brooks film, Diary of a Lost Girl, will be shown three times this month in the United Kingdom. And what's more, each of these screenings will feature live musical accompaniment by the musical group, Wurlitza. (Thanks Meredith.)
The three screenings are set to take place on
Friday 6th May 2022 at the The Burrell Theatre, Truro in Cornwall. More info HERE.
Friday 13th May 2022 at the Plymouth University Arts Institute, Plymouth in Devon. More info HERE.

Wurlitz posted this statement: "We're delighted to be returning to Truro, this time to The Burrell Theatre.
The performance starts at 7.30 and we very much hope to see some of you
for what may be our last performance in Cornwall of Diary of a Lost
Girl for some considerable time.
If you haven't seen it, Diary of a Lost Girl is a wonderful silent film;
action packed and full of drama that shocks and surprises. The
cinematography is just stunning, with beautiful Louise Brooks at her
most mesmerising. It's a story of love in unusual places, as well as
capturing some of the most extraordinary scenes ever seen in silent
cinema. Heavily censored at the time, we are lucky to be able to see the
film as Pabst intended it to be seen, with all its black humour and
vibrant storytelling.
Our soundtrack includes music by Leonard Cohen, Chopin, The Magic
Numbers, Passenger, Eric Satie, The Wire, Portishead and XTC. The album of Diary of A Lost Girl is on Spotify - either follow the link, or search for Wurlitza
We are also performing Diary of a Lost Girl at Plymouth University Arts Institute on the 13th May, and on the 14th May at Noss Mayo Village Hall.
After this we will be working on Charlie Chaplin's The Kid, which will be debuted at Little Big Festival in Ashburton in August."
