Once upon a time, movies were live
The movie was born in 1895. There was no technology to add sound to film for the first 30 to 40 years, and movies were enjoyed along with live music played next to the screen. “After Lumières” is a screening where you can experience a silent film in the screening style at the time. The world of various movies will be screened on the piano of Ryo Torikai, who specializes in accompanying silent films.
