Made In England at Jarvis Conservatory
Jarvis Conservatory presents the documentary film Made in England: The Films of Powell and Pressburger on Saturday, Aug. 24, at 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. Oscar-winning director Martin Scorsese reflects on the influence of filmmakers Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, whose decades-long collaboration led to a series of classics that made the duo a crucial part of British cinema. Scorsese first encountered the films of Powell and Pressburger when he was a child, sitting in front of the family TV. When their famous logo came up on screen, Scorsese says, “You knew you were in for fantasy, wonder, magic — real film magic.” In this documentary, he tells the story of his lifelong love affaire with their movies, including The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp, Black Narcissus, The Red Shoes and The Tales of Hoffmann. Tickets are $15. Jarvis Conservatory, 1711 Main St, Napa, jarvisconservatory.com
