As part of the annual Roger Ebert Lecture and Screening, join us for the screening of Piccadilly (1929). E.A. Dupont’s film starring Chinese-American pioneer Anna May Wong is a formative cinematic entry in the transition from silent to sound films. Part crime drama and part thriller, Piccadilly uses its technical advances to tell the story of a dancer framed for murder in the London nightclub scene. Don’t miss this fascinating entry in classic British cinema.
Then join us on Friday, Oct. 24, at 2 p.m. for the Roger Ebert Lecture, presented by Yiman Wang, professor of film and digital media at UC Santa Cruz.
