We are delighted to finally announce our first film screening on Sunday 14th December starting 4pm at Ipswich Film Theatre.
Everyone knows that December is a time for light and love, for magic, mystery, and mayhem so Suffolk Silents Society is marking the season with a tale from the Arabian Nights.
The Thief of Bagdad stars cinemas greatest ever adventurer, Douglas Fairbanks, as the Thief who falls for the Princess in this timeless fantasy telling of forbidden love and flying carpets.
With epic sets, cutting edge special effects, and one of the biggest budgets of the age this 1924 production still astonishes and enchants audiences of today.
This is a new 2k restoration featuring a magnificent score by Carl Davis performed by the Philarmonia Orchestra.
Its £5 for a trial membership to Suffok Silents Society, which is available in advance on the IFT Box Office here or on the door on the day.
Members will receive free entry to the film, a souvenir programme, a regular newsletter on silent cinema, and be able to bring under-16s to this screening for free.
We are also planning further screenings that will be announced in due course.
