Locals know that the Alabama Theatre’s Mighty Wurlitzer is the engine that runs the theatre district, but few festival-goers realize that the theatre organ is an integral part of cinema history. Organist Nathan Avakian will provide a live soundtrack for a historic silent short, then accompany a selection of contemporary short films from the International Youth Silent Film Festival (IYSFF).
