21st Annual Virginia Film Festival

Aliens! 30 Oct - 2 Nov 2008


Peter Pan (1924)

with Stewart Stern, Donald Sosin, Joanna Seaton, Paul Reisler, Terri Allard and the Charlottesville Children’s Chorus

Of all the screen incarnations of J.M. Barrie’s beloved stage play, Herbert Brenon’s 1924 silent version may be the most faithful, despite occasional attempts to “Americanize” the little boy who won’t grow up. With atmospheric cinematography and magical special effects that still amaze audiences after more than eighty years, this Peter Pan is a delight for the entire family. Silent film buffs will recognize Asian American actress Anna May Wong in the role of princess Tiger Lily. Please note: Children 12 and under admitted to this screening for the special discount price of $1.
