Academy Award® Contenders Series Screening: The Choral

LACMA members are invited to join FILM at LACMA for an exclusive in-person screening of The Choral.

1916. As war rages on the Western Front, the Choral Society in Ramsden, Yorkshire has lost most of its men to the army. The Choral’s ambitious committee, determined to press ahead, decides to recruit local young males to swell their ranks. They must also engage a new chorus master, and despite their suspicions that he has something to hide, their best bet seems to be Dr. Henry Guthrie (Ralph Fiennes)—driven, uncompromising, and recently returned from a career in Germany. As conscription papers start to arrive, the whole community discovers that the best response to the chaos that is laying waste to their lives is to make music together.

Directed by Nicholas Hytner and stars Taylor Uttley, Ralph Fiennes, Emily Fairn, and Mark Addy.

The Choral will be in theaters on December 25.

This in-person screening will take place at an off-site theater. Location details will be shared in the email invitation. Capacity is limited and reservations are required.
