Victor Sjöström's film based on Nathaniel Hawthorne's novel will transport viewers to the atmosphere of Puritan America. At the Visual Arts Hall of the Russian State Library for Youth, there will be a screening of the silent film "The Scarlet Letter" (1926) - an adaptation of one of the most famous American novels of the 19th century. The film was directed by Victor Sjöström - a recognized master of early cinema, and the lead role was played by silent film star Lillian Gish. After the screening, there will be a discussion with Tatyana Nedostupova - a producer and representative of the creative association "ChP". The film is based on Nathaniel Hawthorne's novel and transports viewers to Puritan New England in the 17th century, where external virtue coexists with brutal intolerance. The themes of morality, social condemnation, and internal struggle with guilt and shame remain relevant centuries later. Strong dramaturgy, actor plasticity, and expressive frames turn the film into a benchmark of silent cinema. Viewers will not only enjoy the rare opportunity to see a classic film on the big screen but also discuss its cultural and artistic significance. Tatyana Nedostupova will talk about the film's impact on viewers of its time and how the language of silent cinema continues to speak to audiences today. Admission is free, and pre-registration is not required.
