COLOUR COMES TO THE MOVIES: David Cleveland and Christopher Bird will present some of the earliest colour films, from 1896-1912, on a 1919 hand-cranked projector, with live musical accompaniment. Tinting, hand colouring and stencil colour will all be on display in the work of Georges Méliès and other pioneering filmmakers. The show will finish with an incredibly rare opportunity to see the first successful natural colour system, Kinemacolor, in action.
