A transcendent masterpiece of the silent film era, The Passion of Joan of Arc is a vivid, immersive journey through the agonies of martyrdom. Carl Theodor Dreyer’s expressionistic, intimate techniques immerse viewers in the hours before Joan’s fateful trial. Classical music rising star Dr. Filip Presseisen will accompany the 1928 film on Northrop's historic Aeolian-Skinner pipe organ. Known for his ingenious use of the organ, the concert musician serves as head of the Instrumental Department at the Archdiocesan School of Music in Krakow, Poland, and is the winner of the 2015 International Silent Film Competition held in Berlin, Germany.
