We produce eye opening silent film events by sourcing the latest restorations, historic film prints and collaborate with some of the worlds leading silent film musicians to stage one of a kind, live performance events in the South West and throughout the United Kingdom.
In 2018, 2019 and 2022 SWS was voted “Silent Film Heroes of the Year” in a international public poll held by Pamela Hutchinson’s esteemed blog Silent London.
