Experience the magic of early Hollywood reimagined: on February 22 at Olavshallen Lille sal, the Cinemateket Trondheim presents a dazzling silent‑film concert featuring the 1924 classic *The Thief of Bagdad*—directed by Raoul Walsh and starring Douglas Fairbanks—set to a brand‑new score by Kjetil Schjander Luhr and Syrian composer‑multi‑instrumentalist Saleh Mahfoud. Six live musicians will bring alongside the film’s soaring flying carpets, daring sabre duels, domed architecture, live tigers, and bold, heroic themes a fresh, moody musical vision that honors the film’s Arabian Nights roots while casting a more colorful, culturally inclusive light on its adventurous tale.
