A London screening series pairing early cinema gems with improvised live musical accompaniment.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-11 issue.

Field notes

The series builds each event around the tension between a fixed silent image and an improvised live score, with different musicians attached to different screenings. Its programme ranges from King Vidor’s The Crowd to Dimitri Kirsanoff’s Ménilmontant and includes accompanying shorts, fragments, and restored material. Listed venues include Finch Community Cinema in London Fields and The Cinema Museum in Elephant & Castle, giving the project a distinctly local circuit rather than a generic online catalogue.
