The British Film Institute is collaborating with Nitin Sawhney and the London Symphony Orchestra to present a live accompaniment to a very rare silent film film called A Throw of Dice in Trafalgar Square on Thursday 30th August.

The film has been restored by the BFI. It is a splendid epic of love and loss where a woman’s fate relies on A Throw of Dice.

Directed by Franz Osten, a German, it was filmed in India and is a very rare example of an early film made in India. It is also hugely entertaining and Nitin Sawhney’s score (soon to be released on CD) makes for a very special experience.
