Description
The timeless magic of silent cinema returns to Valletta!
We are delighted to present a unique cultural event at the Malta Society of Arts, where Harold Lloyd’s legendary 1925 silent comedy The Freshman will be screened and accompanied by a newly created live musical score, performed right before your eyes.
Widely regarded as one of Lloyd’s greatest achievements, The Freshman tells the story of an eager but awkward college freshman determined to win popularity and success. A masterpiece of physical comedy, it remains one of the most influential films of the silent era.
What makes this evening truly special is the music:
Our ensemble of piano, violin, and double bass will perform an original orchestral-style arrangement, created exclusively for this event. The new score enriches every scene, bringing fresh energy, atmosphere, and emotional depth to Harold Lloyd’s classic story. From light-hearted comedic moments to heartfelt drama, the live performance transforms the film into an unforgettable multi-sensory experience.
