The creator of many memorable soundtracks for film and television of his own era, including The French Lieutenant’s Woman and the BBC’s Pride and Prejudice, Davis has also devoted much of his career to composing scores for classics of silent cinema commencing with Napoléon (1927) in 1980 and continuing with over 60 more, ranging from Ben Hur (1925) to Harold Lloyd’s Safety Last (1923).

Most recently, he has scored Charlie Chaplin’s much-loved Mutual two-reelers, and he will speak about this project, including film excerpts, before introducing a full screening of one of these short films.

Refreshments will be available in our licenced cafe/bar.
