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 the Douglas Fairbanks classic The Thief of Baghdad. Freely adapted from “One Thousand and One Nights,” the film tells the story of a thief falling in love with the Caliph of Bagdad’s daughter, who promises him the princess on the condition that he brings back the rarest treasure of the seven moons. The epic fantasy-adventure impressed audiences with its spectacular production design and imaginative special effects, and is considered to be one of the greatest silent films and the favorite of its starring actor, Douglas Fairbanks
