For the first time, Northrop's Film Series will be centered around silent films featuring live music—including Northrop’s historic pipe organ. From rarely seen films of feminist protest that explode in slapstick rebellion, to sci-fi and horror classics, this series is a must-see for film buffs, music lovers, and the historically curious. Enjoy these films in the format you wish. Select in-person, livestream, or on-demand viewing.
