  • Glen Foerd 5001 Grant Avenue Philadelphia, PA, 19114 United States (map)

SOLD OUT!

Join us in the Art Gallery along with Not-So-Silent-Cinema for a screening of Jean Epstein’s 1928 silent film “The Fall of the House of Usher” accompanied by an original score performed by a live quartet. 

This Edgar Allen Poe retelling is perfect for fans of all things spooky. Not-So-Silent-Cinema presents a brand-new score to this cinematic gem. It is a haunting score for strings, piano, and granular synthesizer, capturing the eerie atmosphere of the film with a musical pallet that ranges from contemporary classical to abstract sound design.

6:30pm | Doors open. Explore all four floors of the historic house!
7:00pm | Screening begins in the Art Gallery on the second floor.

*Please note the Art Gallery is not accessible/stairs access only.
