The Kennington Bioscope is a regular cinema event featuring live accompaniment to silent films that takes place at the Cinema Museum.

The main feature is Evangeline (1929), directed by Edwin Carewe and starring Dolores del Rio, Roland Drew, and Alec B. Francis. In Acadia, now part of the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, young Evangeline is betrothed to Gabriel. But before the wedding can take place, the British imprison the men and send them into exile. Evangeline goes looking for her beloved, but even after he and the other men are released in Louisiana, she cannot find him, always arriving at some locale just after he has departed. She dedicates her life to searching the continent for the man she loves. The film will be accompanied by Lillian Henley.

A programme of silent shorts precedes the main film. Anyone interested in silent film should visit the website for more info.
