Step into the playful spirit of Jazz Age Paris with a special silent film presentation inspired by the French Moderns: Matisse / Renoir / Degas exhibition. Join us for Ernst Lubitsch’s stylish 1926 comedy So This Is Paris, a witty tale of romance, intrigue, and modern city life, featuring one of silent cinema’s most celebrated dance sequences. The film comes to life through live musical accompaniment by Tom Roberts, jazz pianist, composer, and music historian, capturing the vibrant spirit of early moviegoing.

Presented as part of the annual Pittsburgh Silent Film Festival with commentary by festival director Chad Hunter, this special afternoon celebrates the magic of silent cinema through the dynamic partnership of film and live music.

Film runtime: Approx. 1 hour 10 minutes, followed by Q&A.
