Film Screening – “A Man There Was & The Wind”

Downtown Berkeley

Step back into cinema's golden age with two silent masterpieces by Victor Sjöström. His 1917 Swedish epic "A Man There Was" and 1928 Hollywood drama "The Wind" (starring Lillian Gish) both use breathtaking landscapes to explore human struggle against nature. Live piano accompaniment by Judith Rosenberg makes this afternoon at BAMPFA feel truly timeless.
