FROM LEADVILLE TO ASPEN: A HOLD-UP IN THE ROCKIES (1906)
Rare screening of the rare silent movie! From the point of view of the front end of a train, a group of robbers on a handcar attempt a daring train robbery and murder one of its crew. Shot documentary-style showing the countryside and small towns as the train travels through them, this was actually a genre of film at the time dubbed “Phantom Tourism” where locations were filmed from a moving vehicle. Look closely… the locations may not be what they seem! (with live piano accompaniment). Running time: 8 min. Black & white.
