Columbia, MO: LES VAMPIRES (1915)

Post by Gary » Thu Nov 05, 2015 8:29 am

100th anniversary celebration of Feuillade's 10-part serial.
Ragtag Cinema, 10 Hitt St., Columbia, MO
Episodes 1-3: 6:30, Wednesday, Nov. 11
Episodes 9-10: Tuesday, Nov. 17 (no time announced yet, but I'm guessing 6:30)
There is no indication that there will be live accompaniment, and episodes 4-8 will not be shown.
The final part of the celebration is a screening of Irma Vep (1996), Olivier Assayas's movie about a movie director's attempt to remake Les Vampires, with Maggie Cheung and Jean-Pierre Leaud. Thursday, Nov. 19, no time yet announced.

I've learned that the version to be shown is a new restoration still in progress, so the English titles will be projected "live" beneath the French intertitles and the movie will be shown in glorious silence. Next Tuesday's episodes start at 6:30 and Thursday's "Irma Vep" is at 7:30. I plan to catch up with chapters 4-8 on YouTube.
