Film: The Lion of the Moguls

Tickets: $12

The Lion of the Moguls
Le lion des Mogols, Jean Epstein, 1924, France, 93 minutes

The most reflexive of the émigré films, The Lion of the Moguls is also one of the most fascinating – a comic gem demonstrating the wide-ranging talent of the Russian colony in Paris. The new, color-tinted Desmet 35mm print was restored by La Cinémathèque française with the collaboration of the Franco-American Cultural Fund – DGA MPA SACEM WGA.

This screening will include live piano accompaniment by Ben Model and will preceded by a lecture by series curator Richard Suchenski.
