LEONORA CARRINGTON by Pamela Robertson-Pearce

A Silent Movie That Is 101 Years Old
Mar 1, 2025 blog post
I watched this movie, for completely different reasons, at the start of March... and then Peter Pan was mentioned in Lotus's video about shadows! So this will be the perfect chance for me to show my students a little bit of a silent movie. That's something I've always wanted to do in the classroom!!!
