Leonard’s Beautiful Pictures
A rare vision of a former world, drenched in hand-tinted colour and laughter.
In the family of Launceston entertainers known as The Marvellous Corricks there were eight talented siblings: seven sisters and their brother, Leonard. He was just 14 years old when he started making and screening silent films.
It was 1901 and his early projections – a highlight of his family’s travelling shows filled with sketches and singalongs – would light up the world.
Paying homage to The Marvellous Corricks’ musical talents, renowned Tasmanian composer and performer Dean Stevenson and his band accompany these moving pictures with a playful new musical soundscape.
Bring your family and welcome Leonard’s Beautiful Pictures into the 21st century.
Supported by Ten Days on the Island and the National Film and Sound Archive
