Jump Cut is celebrating Silent Movie Day Monday, September 28th at the Parkway Theater and Film Lounge with Dinner and a Movie with a screening of The Student of Prague (1926)!

Join us for a special Silent Movie Day event as part of the 2026 Pittsburgh Silent Film Festival! We’re thrilled to present Dinner and a Movie with a screening of the 2020 restoration of The Student of Prague from the Filmmuseum München .

Directed by Henrik Galeen, best known for his work on Nosferatu and The Golem, this

1926 German Expressionist classic stars Conrad Veidt as a penniless student who makes a pact with the devil for love and fortune, only to be haunted by his own stolen reflection. A dark spin on the Faust legend, the film captures the wreckage of ambition, temptation, and a traded soul, all unfolding through the shadow-drenched visuals of Weimar cinema. The screening features an original live musical score by Tyler Stoner.

Make a night of it with dinner before the show, prepared by the Parkway’s Chef Mustapha.

Dinner includes: choice of burger, hoagie, or wrap, served with seasoned potatoes, salad, and dessert.
