Silent Film Festival: "The Unknown"

Lon Chaney stars as a carnival performer “Alonzo The Armless Wonder” who throws knives with his feet in a daring act featuring the alluring Nanon Zanzi, played by Joan Crawford in her first major role. "The Unknown" (1927) serves romance, macabre obsession and horror in about 60 minutes, all while steering clear of exploitative tropes. The second annual Kenworthy Silent Film Festival enjoys support from Idaho Arts, Idaho Humanities Council, UI Habib Institute for Asian Studies and The Japan Foundation. 1 hr 8 min | Tickets: $15 GA / $10 Students / $50 Festival Pass
