“The first film version of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s splendid novel of high adventure, and still the most-rewarding"

100 years on from its original release, The Lost World is roaring back onto the big screen for this one-off showing of the restored cut, including one of the first ever movie cameos…

We’re returning to St Mary Redcliffe in February for a special centenary screening of The Lost World. This adaptation of Arthur Conan Doyle’s beloved novel was one of the first films to use stop-motion animation (the art team would later replicate the effects for King Kong), and had a monumental impact on genre filmmaking as far forward as Jurassic Park.

This remarkable film will be accompanied by a live, entirely improvised organ recital by the award-winning composer Dr. David Bednall, blending silent cinema with live music to create a unique performance that promises to add another dimension to the experience.
