LA VIE et la PASSION de
JESUS CHRIST
with an introduction by Richard Kendall
From the very early days of film, the life of Christ provided directors with a subject. La Vie et la passion de Jesus Christ directed by Lucien Nonguet and Ferdinand Zecca is a sequence of five episodes from the life of Christ made in 1903. At 40 minutes duration it is unusually long for a film from this period. It is also believed to be the first feature film to have colorized sequences, the each black and white frame being coloured by hand. The screening of this historic masterpiece will be introduced by Richard Kendall, a specialist in the history of silent film. Richard has also constructed a musical sound track to accompany La Vie et la passion de Jesus Christ.
TICKETS £10 (under 18 concession £8) on sale from April 4th
