A Page of Madness (1926)
Silent Japanese avant-garde film screening at Cleveland Museum of Art.
A Page of Madness is a landmark silent film from 1926, a visually experimental Japanese masterpiece that uses striking imagery and innovative camera techniques to tell its story. Families attending a screening at the museum will experience cinema history—no dialogue to follow, just powerful visuals accompanied by music. It's an excellent introduction to silent film for older children and teens interested in art, cinema, or film history. Expect an artistic, thoughtful experience rather than entertainment in the conventional sense; the abstract visual style requires patient, engaged viewing.
