Following the two successful webinar presentations of the Friends of the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia (NFSA) in July and August 2020, the Friends of NFSA will have another webinar presentation on 20 September 2020 titled, Silent Movies, Silent Man: in search of Australian-born film actor Andre de Beranger, with speaker Dr. Bryony Cosgrove.
George Beringer, known in Hollywood as Andre de Beranger, was an Australian-born silent film actor who reached the height of his fame in the 1920s. He acted in and directed dozens of movies in the United States, England and Europe. Today he is almost unknown, lucky to rate even a footnote in the golden days of silent film.
Dr. Bryony Cosgrove researched George Beringer’s life and career for her Master’s thesis titled, Silent Movies, Silent Man.
The webinar will be held on 20 September 2020, 2:00 PM (UTC + 10) via Zoom.
There is a limited number of attendees at this webinar, so registration is essential. A Zoom invitation for the webinar will be sent to those who have registered.
