SCREENING: The Wind (1928), Cleveland

  • Cleveland Institute of Art Cinematheque 11610 Euclid Avenue Cleveland, OH, 44106 United States (map)

SEPTEMBER 29, 2021 @ 7:00pm (Eastern) Lillian Gish in Victor Sjostrom's 1928 silent masterpiece The Wind. Lillian Gish stars in one of the artistic pinnacles of the silent era, never before shown at the Cinematheque. She plays a delicate young woman from Virginia who travels West to live with relatives on the lonely Texas plains. There the relentless wind and dust, coupled with the crudeness and brutality of the locals, drive her to near madness. As the foremost filmmaker of the Swedish silent cinema, director Victor Sjöström was lured to Hollywood where he made a handful of movies, including this masterpiece. At age 78, he starred in Ingmar Bergman’s 1957 classic Wild Strawberries.

Silent with music track. 35mm. 75 min.

Special admission $13; members, CIA & CSU I.D. holders, and those age 25 & under $10. No passes or twofers. Free parking available. For more info and Covid restrictions, visit cia.edu/cinematheque.
