Experience cinema the way it was 100 years ago... For the first 30 years of movies audiences went to the theater and watched silent images on the screen with live music. You can think of it like watching a music video, but the musicians perform live. UVA Film Lecturer and silent film accompanist Matt Marshall (and sometimes with his Reel Music Trio) brings this tradition back with modern flair and will perform live accompaniment to classic silent films each month, giving audiences the experience of what it was like going to the movies when they were a burgeoning art form. Matt Marshall has been writing and performing music for classic silent film screenings since 2001 and has recorded soundtracks for video releases of Charlie Chaplin’s The Kid and pioneer French filmmaker George Méliès’ Conquest of the Pole. Marshall performs and lectures at the Center at Belvedere, a non-profit community center in Charlottesville, VA and for the Department of Media Studies at the University of Virginia.</b>PT1H30M2026-08-16
