Nitin Sawhney score for Throw of the Dice in Trafalgar Square, London

Nitin Sawhney and his band, accompanied by the London Symphony Orchestra, perform at the Trafalgar Square screening of the BFI's digitally-restored version of the Indian silent classic, A Throw Of A Dice.

The British Film Institute is collaborating with Nitin Sawhney and the London Symphony Orchestra to present a live accompaniment to a very rare silent film film called A Throw of Dice in Trafalgar Square on Thursday 30th August.

The film has been restored by the BFI. It is a splendid epic of love and loss where a woman's fate relies on A Throw of Dice.

Directed by Franz Osten, a German, it was filmed in India and is a very rare example of an early film made in India. It is also hugely entertaining and Nitin Sawhney's score (soon to be released on CD) makes for a very special experience.
