Seattle Theatre Group Announces 2025–26 Silent Movie Mondays Series at The Paramount Theatre
The series features Battleship Potemkin, Lady Windermere’s Fan, Faust, and The General, all celebrating their centennials.
Seattle Theatre Group (STG) has announced the 2025–26 lineup for its popular Silent Movie Mondays series at The Paramount Theatre. Four landmark films from the silent era will return to the big screen with live accompaniment on the historic Mighty Wurlitzer organ: Battleship Potemkin (1925), Lady Windermere’s Fan (1925), Faust (1926), and The General (1926).
The annual series honors both the legacy of early 20th-century cinema and the Paramount Theatre itself, which opened in 1928. Each screening is presented with live organ performance and followed by CineClub, a post-show discussion led by film scholars and professionals.
