Hyde Park Picture House
15 November • 7pm

This incredible archive film fuses nature with fairytale, and was the first narrative feature ever made starring live insects! Witness the birth of a bee, a snake emerging from its egg, a blossoming tulip, a butterfly's metamorphosis and the grand finale – a magnificent battle between the bees and the hornets! A breath-taking jewel of early cinema which fell into criminal oblivion for decades. Awesome Leeds-based musicians Inecto School and D Sojourn will accompany the film with inspired live improvisation, conjuring an other-worldly atmosphere to take you somewhere else...With thanks to the Waldemar Bonsels Trust.
