Join us for a screening of Piccadilly, E.A. Dupont's film starring Chinese-American pioneer Anna May Wong.

 Part crime drama and part thriller, Piccadilly is a formative cinematic entry in the transition from silent to sound films. Using technical advances, the film tells the story of a dancer framed for murder in the London nightclub scene. Don't miss this fascinating entry in classic British cinema.  

This event is free and open to the public.
