Kennington Bioscope presents; Pavement Butterfly, Wednesday December 6th @ 7:30pm
Pavement Butterfly (1929), is a German English co production directed by Richard Eichberg in Germany, and stars Anna May Wong.
In this, her second silent film with Eichberg, Wong plays Princess Butterfly, an exotic Parisian fan dancer whose “death leap through a circle of naked swords” act goes tragically wrong. Blamed for the impalement of a fellow performer, she runs away and takes shelter with a handsome but starving painter who she brings luck.
A programme of silent shorts precedes the main film.
Tickets are £5. Seats are limited, so please request an invitation using the email kenbioscope@gmail.com.
