The Twin Cities-based music ensemble, The Poor Nobodys, will perform a live original score accompanying the screening of the silent Swedish film A Man There Was at the Winona Arts Center on January 28th. Following the screening, there will be Q&A, a short intermission, and an additional set of original music by the band. There is a suggested donation fee of $10.

Based on Henrik Ibsen’s epic poem and directed by Victor Sjöström, A Man There Was (Terje Vigen) was released in 1917 when many Scandinavian immigrants were arriving in Minnesota. The film tells the story of a Norwegian sailor who in 1814 takes on a British blockade to find food for his family. This rare screening is part of a statewide tour by the Poor Nobodys in support of this classic film. Learn more.
