The Kennington Bioscope is a regular cinema event featuring live accompaniment to silent films that takes place at the Cinema Museum.

Méliès Presents Méliès (digital).

An evening of restored hand-coloured Georges Méliès films with live narration based on original texts. Méliès’ story films were originally presented using an onstage narrator to explain the action (this has rarely been done since their initial screenings) and in this capacity we are pleased to welcome as guest the Cinema Museum’s resident French film expert, Jon Davies, in the role of George Méliès himself. In addition, the programme will include the world premiere of a recently discovered `lost’ Méliès film dating from 1896, the year in which he first began to experiment with the infant medium of cinema.

Silent film with intertitles which may be suitable for the deaf and hard of hearing.
