About the event
The Swallow and the Titmouse (1920)
A poetic realist masterpiece, beautifully shot on the canals and waterways of Flanders and northern France.
Commanding a naturalistic acting style, palpable sense of place, and authentic depictions of working life anticipating the Italian Neorealist movement by two decades, director Antoine offsets the drama, and diverts our view to behold the canal and its banks, tracking the landscape which passes as a silent witness to the barge peoples’ lives.
