Joan Of Arc has been celebrated on film many times but only Dreyer and Bresson have portrayed her during her trial with such intensity and singularity. These screenings offer a rare opportunity to compare two films radically different in style, adapted from the same historical records of the trial of Joan Of Arc.

THE PASSION OF JOAN OF ARC
Directed by Carl Theodor Dreyer
1928 | Denmark | 82 mins | B&W

Silent and shot mostly in close-up, Carl Th. Dreyer’s The Passion Of Joan Of Arc focuses on Renee Falconetti who gives one of the greatest performances ever recorded on film as the young maiden who died for God and France.
