Event Details
Experience a cinematic masterpiece reimagined through live music with The Passion of Joan of Arc, featuring an original live score by Beautiful Violence, at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts in Burnaby.
A defining work of the silent film era, the film follows the trial of Jeanne d’Arc, a teenage heroine who stands firm in her beliefs despite intense interrogation. Renée Falconetti’s performance remains one of the most powerful in cinema, capturing both vulnerability and resilience.
This special screening is elevated by a live score from Vancouver-based duo Beautiful Violence. Blending ambient soundscapes, electronic textures, and experimental elements, their performance adds a contemporary layer that deepens the film’s emotional intensity and creates a fully immersive experience.
What’s Included
A screening of The Passion of Joan of Arc with a live musical performance by Beautiful Violence, performed in real time.
Registration
Tickets are available through the Shadbolt Centre box office. Advance booking is recommended.
