Silent Movies for ELP

We had so much fun seeing three silent movies at the Antrim Town Hall this past Monday.

We saw Cops, Moony Mariner and Lizzies of the Field. Almost all of the 90 ELP students were there, and a good time was had by all. We were treated to the live piano accompaniment of Jeff Rapsis, who is an amazing piano player and silent film buff. Here is a link to his blog.

 Students enjoyed seeing what life was like in the 1920s, through the lens of Buster Keaton and others. It was a great cultural experience. Some of the student comments were:

"He played the piano so well, I forgot he was there."

"It is weird that they didn't have street lights and a police man had to tell the people where to go so they didn't crash."

" I liked how they told the story with their bodies and faces."

THAN YOU to Celeste Lunetta set up the movie screen and projection equipment and to the Town Hall Staff for letting us come!
