7:00 pm: From Silents to Talking Pictures: The Competition to Bring Sound to Movies (lecture)7:00 pm: From Silents to Talking Pictures: The Competition to Bring Sound to Movies (lecture)7:00 pm The Finger Lakes Film Trail is back in action again this year with a new program series, “Making Noise About Silent Film: Conversations About Cinema, Culture, and Social Change.” The program explores the impact of silent cinema on society and culture in the early twentieth century.
Coming up next at the Carriage House Theater, come check out the free lecture “From Silents to Talking Pictures: The Competition to Bring Sound to Movies.” Presenter Jim Loperfido, a film historian who has worked in the industry for over forty years, will discuss the crucial moment in history when the silent film industry discovered its voice.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
“Although music was a natural accompaniment to silent films, few early movie studios thought talking pictures had a chance. Discover how two rags-to-riches moguls—William Fox of Fox Film Corporation working with Auburn physicist Ted Case, and Sam Warner of Warner Brothers Studio collaborating with Western Electric—brought the world a new way to experience motion pictures, one that profoundly transformed popular culture.”
This event is free to attend! Registrations are encouraged, but not required. If you would like to register to attend this lecture, or learn more about other upcoming lectures, go to: https://www.fingerlakesfilmtrail.org/about-making-noise
