The silent filmshow with live music accompaniment at Norham Church includes the screening of Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans – which was ahead of its time when it was released in 1927.

It received three Oscars at the first ever Academy Awards.

An original music score will be performed at the event on Saturday, September 9 (7.30pm start) by the Jane Gardner & Co. Quartet from Edinburgh, professional musicians who love to play along to silent films.

This will involve some rousing brass, gypsy jazz, foxtrot, folk dance and more.
