Set at the turn of the century, Motl Mendl, who's entranced by the flickering silent images on his father's cinematograph, makes a small Jewish community in remote Eastern European his camera's focus. Bankrolled by Jacob, the ebullient local timber merchant, and inspired by Anna, the girl sent to help him make moving pictures of their village, he stumbles on a revolutionary way of story-telling. Forty years on, Motl - now a famed American film director - looks back on his early life and confronts the cost of fulfilling his dreams. With The Artist up for the Best Picture Oscar, this National Theatre Live broadcast gives you a fictionalized story on the beginnings of silent film. Learn More

Description
The Pirate, 1948, Warner Bros., 102 min. Dir. Vincente Minnelli. A Cole Porter score anchors this Vincente Minnelli musical, in which circus clown Gene Kelly pines for demure maiden Judy Garland, who thinks he's actually a Caribbean pirate. Bold and expressive in its use of Technicolor and featuring terrific performances by Kelly and Garland, this is one of the best of MGM's classic musicals.
Brigadoon, 1954, Warner Bros., 108 min. Director Vincente Minnelli re-creates pastoral Scotland on a soundstage in a glorious display of color, music and movement. Gene Kelly and Van Johnson discover a magical village in this adaptation of Lerner and Loewe's Broadway hit, with Cyd Charisse lending romantic interest and charm.
Introduction by Gene Kelly’s widow, Patricia Kelly.
