Norman Studios Silent Film Showing - Body and Soul
We are pleased to announce the showing of Oscar Michaeux’s Body and Soul (1925) on February 21 at 1:30 p.m. at the Rita F. Reagan Set Building, Norman Studios.️
Tony Steve, our very accomplished accompanist who was a mainstay of our previous Silent Sundays, will provide live accompaniment to this classic “race film.” The film is in the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress and represents the motion picture debut of Paul Robson.
A discussion hosted by members of the board of Norman Studios about race film making and the correspondence between the two race film makers Richard Norman and Oscar Michaeux will precede the presentation of the motion picture.
The suggested donation for the event is $10. Snacks and soft drinks will be available.
Admission: Free
$10 suggested donation for snacks and soft drinks.
Join us as we bring silent film back to life at Norman Studios new home!
A thriving creative economy enhances the quality of life for us all. Supported in part by the Merit-Based Cultural Service Grant Program administered by the Cultural Council of Greater Jacksonville with funding from the City of Jacksonville and our elected officials, we extend our gratitude to all partners who make this possible.
