The Lost
World on the big screen
Thursday 11th October, 6pm
Grant Museum of Zoology, UCL
A
must-see event for dino-fans and cinema-buffs alike. The original monster
movie, this 1925 classic was the forerunner of King Kong and
Jurassic Park.
The Grant Museum is hosting a rare opportunity to see the recently
restored film on the big screen, introduced by UCL Historian of Science,
Dr Joe Cain.
At the time, it was one of the most expensive films ever made and took
six times longer to produce than any other. Audiences were stunned by the
pioneering special-effects that brought to life Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s
story of dinosaurs surviving in the Amazon.
Nearly all copies of this silent film were destroyed when “talkies” came
along, but recently a copy was found in Prague and was used to reinstate
this masterpiece to its former glory.
A free glass of wine will be served in the Museum at the
intermission.
Please note that new entrance is now on Malet Place.
