Kennington Bioscope Live Presents....

Wed Dec 8th:

The Eagle’s Mate (1914) starring Mary Pickford & The Suffragette (1913) starring Asta Nielsen - programme change

Our last Bioscope of this shortened year for filmgoers is a double bill of films featuring two of silent cinema's finest actresses.
The Eagle’s Mate is a Mary Pickford vehicle long considered lost until a print was acquired by George Eastman House in 2000. It was adapted by Marion Michelson from a novel by Anna Alice Chapin. The story is set in Moonshiners’ territory with Mary Pickford as Anemone, a girl abducted by a disreputable mountain family and forced into marriage.

Variety described Pickford as ‘one of the few picture actresses, or actors for that matter, who can interject personality into a negative. She breathes the role taken, and it fits her, up, down and all around … The Eagle’s Mate is a lively feature without a real kick – but it has Mary Pickford, better than the best kick or punch that could have been put in …’ The Eagle’s Mate is to be screened from a BFI 35mm print.

Preceding this in the programme is The Suffragette (1913), directed by Urban Gad and starring Asta Nielsen.

Asta Nielsen was the Danish leading woman of German films who became one of the greatest stars of the silent era. In The Suffragette, which is based on the life of Christabel Pankhurst, Nielsen stars with Max Landa, Charly Berger and Fred Immler.

The film shows the pivotal actions and political convictions of Nelly Panburne – most notably putting a bomb under the chair of the suffragette’s opposition, Lord Ascue. Can rebellious actions be dissolved by love in unexpected places?

This is a change of film from that previously advertised. Because The Eskimo Baby (1916) is being screened in an up and coming Asta Nielsen season at the BFI, we have decided to show a different film of hers.

Live piano accompaniment comes courtesy of John Sweeney and Colin Sell.
