Silent Movie Under the Stars

every August since 2011

Each late August since 2011, Wharton Studio Museum, in partnership with the NYS Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, has brought a silent film to the big screen -- and with live musical accompaniment by Cloud Chamber Orchestra -- to beautiful Taughannock Falls State Park. This cinematic event under the night sky has become one of the most popular summer traditions in the region!

Another wonderful Silent Movie Under the Stars with “Ella Cinders” (1926) on the big screen and charming live music by Andrew Westphal aka Professor Keys! The meteorological gods cooperated and we are grateful to everyone who came to Upper Robert Treman State Park. Thank you to our producing partner, the NYS Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, to presenting sponsor M&T Bank and all our sponsors, to Audio Chef for the sound production, and to our friends at fliposcope.com for contributing three of their beautiful contraptions to our raffle. It was a lovely cinematic evening under the nightly! See you all next year!
