Saturday 30th Jan - Colour comes to Frome! At The Rye Bakery, Whittox Lane, Frome, Somerset BA11 3BY. To book please click here.

Christopher Bird will present some of the earliest colour films, from 1896-1912, on a 1919 hand-cranked projector, with live organ accompaniment from Elliot Galvin.

Tinting, hand colouring and stencil colour will all be on display in the work of Georges Méliès and other pioneering early filmmakers such as Segundo de Chomon and Walter Booth. Elliot Galvin will provide live accompaniment on the V.G Volwes organ installed at the former United Reformed Church, which is now the home of the Rye Bakery.

The show will finish with an incredibly rare opportunity to see the first successful natural colour system, Kinemacolor, in action.

Please note, there is no parking available at the Rye Bakery. Please bring your own refreshments as the venue does not have a licence.
