Queuing, Viewing, Dining, and Duetting in Pordenone

Stacey and Anita may not have defeated their jet lag yet (as evidenced by the emails they've been sending at 2:15 am Italy time), but they've certainly been making the most of their trip to the 33rd Pordenone Silent Film Festival.

Queueing up under grey skies at the Verdi Theatre to see Fritz Lang's two-part Nordic fantasy masterpiece Die Nibelungen (all 275 minutes of it!):

Wondering what that rounded theater façade holds within?

Finally—a late dinner with friends and colleagues:

Matti Bye, Donald Sosin, Daniela Currò (George Eastman House), Jonathan Marlow (Fandor), Stephen Horne, Martin Koerber (Deutsche Kinemathek), Stacey Wisnia

Topped off with a duet from two of our favorite silent film accompanists, Donald Sosin and Stephen Horne, aka The Rollicking Rajahs! (You may recall this tune from our recent Silent Autumn screening of A Night at the Cinema in 1914.)
