Description

The British Film Institute, SIFF, and Greg Olson Productions present 10 restored Powell and Pressburger films weekly on Wednesdays from September 18 to November 20 at SIFF Cinema Egyptian.

The wellsprings of myth, magic and Neo-Romantic modernism surge through the spellbinding films of Powell and Pressburger. The legendary writing-directing team, known as the Archers, set a dazzling high standard for breathtaking beauty and thematic daring, in films that reveal the mystical power of nature and stir our hearts, minds and souls. The Archers champion the liberated freedom of thought, artistic expression and choices in love, often centering on spirited female characters.
