Silent Movie: 20k Leagues Under the Sea @ Congress Square Park
Details
Bring a snack and beverage and meet us at Congress Square Park to watch the silent movie, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1916). Description below. We'll meet there at 7pm to hang out for a little bit before the movie starts at 7:30pm. The movie runtime about 86 minutes. The park has some chairs, but I recommend bringing a lawn or beach chair if you want to be a little more comfortable. Also, dress warm because the evenings tend to cool down quite a bit. There are no public restrooms at the park.
Movie Description: During the Civil War, reports of a sea monster attacking ships alarm the Navy. An investigation finds the monster is a submarine, the “Nautilus,” commanded by vengeance-seeking Capt. Nemo (Allen Holubar), who was once an Indian prince. Years earlier, adventurer Charles Denver (William Welsh) caused the suicide of Nemo’s wife and the disappearance of his daughter. Nemo tracks Denver to a distant island where, unknown to him, a wild native girl matching his daughter’s description is also hiding.
