The Battle of Bull Run

Director: Francis Ford

Moving Image Research Collections at USC, in collaboration with the School of Music, proudly present the first ever local screening of The Battle of Bull Run (1913). This civil war costume drama directed by and starring Francis Ford (elder brother of John Ford, director of The Searchers) is a story of spies and romance and will be screened with musical accompaniment provided by students from the School of Music. Come early for a special pre show to see and hear actual Civil War veterans as filmed by the crews of Fox Movietone News. They may be old, but there’s still a lot of yell left in them!
