Join the Cleveland Silent Film Festival & Colloquium and the Cleveland Cinematheque in a celebration of Silent Movie Day!

On Sunday, September 29, the Cinematheque will present Ernst Lubitsch’s Carmen. This early Lubitsch adaptation casts the silent film tragedienne Pola Negri as the spell-binding, wonderfully wicked Carmen – a collaboration that transformed Negri into a silver screen goddess. The film retells Prosper Merimée’s classic tale of a Romani woman who seduces a military officer and sends each of them on a trajectory of dramatic self-destruction.
