South West Silents was founded in 2015 to share its founders’ passion for silent film with wider cinema-going audiences and to celebrate the history of cinema.
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.
In autumn 2021 SWS launched a new spin-off company FILM NOIR UK, a group dedicated to the films of film noir.
