In 1431, Jeanne d’Arc is placed on trial on charges of heresy. The ecclesiastical jurists attempt to force Jeanne to recant her claims of holy visions.

Carl Theodor Dreyer’s classic, with live musical accompaniment by the triumphant return of the VOC Silent Film Harmonic, Canada’s only and award-winning ensemble dedicated to accompanying silent movies.
This movie is elevated by Dreyer’s radical approach — focusing on the actors’ makeup free faces and expressions — and Renée Falconetti’s remarkable performance as Joan, which is widely regarded as an uncontested landmark in acting.

*Please take note that doors open 30 minutes before showtimes. We encourage people to arrive early. We have a small box office, a small candy bar, and a single-screen cinema, meaning that when most of an audience shows up a few minutes before showtime, it causes a bottleneck. If possible, we appreciate you arriving a little bit early to pick out your seat and get your popcorn. Thanks for your help!
