The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog | Silent Film + Live Organ

Tuesday, Oct. 22, 7 p.m.

Richard and Lucille Ice Auditorium

Step back into the fog-shrouded streets of 1920s London with Alfred Hitchcock’s masterful silent thriller, The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog. This iconic film, brimming with suspense and intrigue, is a cornerstone of silent cinema. Prepare to be mesmerized as the film’s hauntingly atmospheric tension is brought to life by the incomparable Dean Lemire on the Alice Clement organ. Dean’s original score will weave a rich, immersive soundscape that amplifies every twist and turn, ensuring an unforgettable cinematic experience.

For the Record | Screening and Panel Discussion

Wednesday, Oct. 23, 7 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.

Richard and Lucille Ice Auditorium

Join us for a screening of For the Record, a 45-minute documentary that delves into the impact of journalism on small communities.

In a small Texas Panhandle town, a few things have remained constant – cowboys, high school football, conservative voters, and the family-owned weekly newspaper, The Canadian Record. Publisher and editor Laurie Ezzell Brown strives to keep the town’s paper of record and her family’s legacy alive despite an oil bust, a global pandemic, and a growing mistrust for all media and, increasingly, her own editorials.

Highlights from 2023

Dean Lemire performed his original score on the Alice Clement Memorial pipe organ in Linfield's Richard and Lucille Ice Auditorium to the first vampire film, Nosferatu. Attendees dressed up in costume.
