Created out of the belief that “silent film is a vital, beautiful, and often overlooked part of film history,” this September 2021 marks the first National Silent Movie Day and our 3rd Annual Silent Film event! Happening Friday and Saturday, Sept 24-25 with musicians Martin Dosh and Kyle Ollah. | TICKETS FOR KYLE | TICKETS FOR DOSH
On Friday, September 24, 2021 musician, Kyle Ollah will accompany Mable Normand’s “Mickey” (1918). Kyle Ollah is a multi-faceted string player equally versed as a solo artist as he is as a music collaborator. His fingerstyle guitar work and folk fiddling have become well-lit fixtures in clubs and dance halls across the upper-midwest.
Mabel Normand stars and produces "Mickey" (1918). Acknowledged as the first silent film to attain “blockbuster” status, this romantic comedy is about a spunky and uncultured orphan raised by her dad’s mining business partner. Will Mickey find true love and fortune in the big city or become Cinderella to her greedy relatives? Genre: comedy, drama, adventure, romance | TICKETS FOR KYLE

“The Doll” (1919) feat. Ossi Oswalda tells the story of a young man who will inherit his uncle’s money if he gets married. Will a dollmaker’s technological wonders save the young man from interacting with a real human woman? Genre: comedy, romance, fantasy. | TICKETS FOR DOSH
