Beggars of Life

Silent film & live music: Sonic Silents is a trio of masters of Bluegrass & American old-time country string-music, playing live, original, specially-composed scores to bring new life to legendary Hollywood silent movies of a long-gone era.

Presented by renowned musicians Kate Lissauer (Buffalo Gals band lead), Jason Titley and Leon Hunt, these three remarkable talents have joined together to reveal a thrilling, fresh, moving and often humorous approach to the legendary black and white Hollywood movie 'Beggars of Life', starring iconic actress Louise Brooks.

In an absorbing, poignant glimpse of a bygone time, this trio’s evocative playing and inventive percussive highlights reawaken the 1928 work of revered filmmaker William Wellman as they delight in joining the FilmBath Festival 2024

Bath Pizza Company and Bath Music Workshop Cafe will be open during the evening selling food and drinks. 

This event is part of BFI's Art of Action Season.
