On Thursday, October 29 at 7pm, CWP will host a Halloween screening of the silent film The Man Who Laughs, with live accompaniment performed by Ben Model.
Disfigured by a king as a child, an 18th-century clown again becomes the pawn of royalty and star of the freak show of a travelling carnival.
Ben Model is one of the nation’s leading silent film accompanists, performing on both piano and theatre organ. Over the past 44 years, he has created and performed thousands of live scores for silent films at universities, museums, and historic theaters, and is one of the few exponents of this craft who is working at it full-time. Ben is a resident film accompanist at the Museum of Modern Art (NY) and at the Library of Congress’ Packard Campus Theatre, and he accompanies silents at classic film festivals around the USA and internationally.
