JOIN THE CTA IN LONDON for a DOUBLE BILL of great talks!

Описание: SATURDAY FEBRUARY 11TH AT 5.30PM You're invited to join the Cinema Theatre Association in London as we celebrate the return of in-person live events for 2023!

We're starting the year in style with a great DOUBLE BILL of talks in Central London.

DOUBLE BILL: THE STORY OF THE TELEKINEMA/NFT/BFI SOUTHBANK PLUS WHEN CINEMA LET IN THE LIGHT (PART TWO)

THE TELEKINEMA/ NFT/ BFI SOUTHBANK - AN ILLUSTRATED LECTURE BY ALLEN EYLES
Allen will discuss the history of the National Film Theatre (NFT) since its inception as the ‘Telekinema’ on the Southbank in 1951 resulting from the Festival of Britain. A successful campaign for a permanent venue prevented it from being closed. It underwent several changes and extensions including being rebranded as the BFI Southbank in 2007 when it formed a closer relationship with the BFI. Appropriately, it is also the venue where the CTA was founded in 1967.

Our speaker Allen Elyes is a celebrated author of many books associated with cinema history and is a founder member and patron of the CTA.

WHEN CINEMA LET IN THE LIGHT (II) - AN ILLUSTRATED MUSICAL LECTURE BY MARTIN CLEAVE.
After delighting CTA audiences with the first part of his celebration of light orchestral music’s contribution to the cinema-going experience of the mid-20th century, Martin returns with more choice examples of music to help you reminisce about the glory days of cinema. Recreating examples using historic recordings, this presentation will feature luminaries from the world of light music whose careers provided part of the distinctive sound of cinema. From the orchestras of the silent era to the music and organists of the super cinemas, accompanied by images of historic picture palaces where these musicians performed.
Martin, who is Music Director at the Royal Academy of Dance, will share his finest rediscoveries with us.

CTA TALKS AND PRESENTATIONS ARE OPEN TO EVERYONE - MEMBERS AND NON-MEMBERS.

TICKETS ARE £12 PER PERSON, INCLUDING A GLASS OF WINE OR SOFT DRINK.
