Silent Film Screening: Underground (1928)
Step back in time to the shadowy depths of 1920s London with a rare screening of Underground (1928), a beautifully restored silent film from the BFI archives. This evocative British classic explores the lives and loves of ordinary Londoners whose paths cross in the city’s bustling Underground network.
Directed by Anthony Asquith, Underground is a masterful blend of romance, tension, and social observation, capturing the heartbeat of a city in transition. The story unfolds in a world of flickering lights, steam-filled platforms, and fleeting glances — all brought vividly to life with live piano accompaniment by Andrew Harrison-King.
Andrew’s sensitive and expressive playing has accompanied silent films across the region for over a decade, enhancing the emotional power of the silent screen. His performance promises to elevate this already captivating film into a truly immersive experience.
Don’t miss this opportunity to rediscover a forgotten gem of early British cinema — and experience the magic of silent film as it was meant to be seen and heard.
