This Valentine’s Day, fall in love with silent film!
Join ArtPower! Film and Scott Paulson with his Teeny-Tiny Pit Orchestra for Silent Films as we toast vintage local filmmakers and celebrate St. Valentines Day with a glass of sparkling libation and chocolatey brownies. Each silent film event is an interactive experience as volunteers from the audience will be called upon to co-create sound effects!
