So This is Paris (1926) with live accompaniment by the Meg Morley duo

No Pocket Film Festival would be complete without a performance by the sublime Meg Morley. This year we are really excited to welcome back Meg again, but this time as a duo, to deliver a live accompaniment to "So This is Paris", a film created by the renowned director Ernst Lubitsch. 

"So This is Paris" is an entertaining silent comedy where four members of two married couples get entangled in a web of lies and deceit. The film offers up a world of confection and bliss, in which the Charleston isn't just a dance but a way to explode the world into a kaleidoscope of possibility. It is quite simply a silent classic, and one of Ernst Lubtisch's most delightful comedies.

Meg has regularly performed at various international film festivals and received numerous solo piano commissions. We are proud to say that Meg has performed at EVERY Pocket Film Festival either performing as a solo artist, as a duo or as part of her jazz trio. This year she will provide live piano accompaniment to the film, and will be joined as a duo by drummer Chris Castellitto.

This film bursts with sheer exuberance, and features some brilliantly funny moments, a visually kaleidoscopic dance scene, and we can’t wait to be taken on a rhythmic journey by the Meg Morley duo, who we know will provide the perfect musical accompaniment to this film.
