Baton Rouge Gallery's Movie and Music series continues Saturday with the showing of the 1924 original live action (and silent) version of Peter Pan. Local band The (New) Zeelanders will perform the score live.

The movie starts at 8 p.m. or sunset, whichever comes last. Admission is free for gallery members and $5 for everyone else. Free popcorn will be provided.

Here's how the gallery describes the film:

This nearly forgotten 1924 original live action version of the classic story will charm audiences with its storybook magic centering around Peter Pan and his befriending of the Darling children: Wendy, Michael and John. Their magical adventure into the island of Never Land features lavish special effects, pirates, a crocodile, Indians and flying children. Also, the film's innovative use of special effects is delightfully evidenced in the fairy Tinkerbell, played by Virginia Brown Faire. This adaptation runs from merry ole England and the Darling's nursery to the Lost Boys' forest. This film is an adaptation of the play by J.M. Barrie and was directed by Herbert Brenon.

Brothers Michael and Jared Bell started playing music together when they just had toy guitars and drums. The brothers each went on to play with various different bands in their hometown of Tempe, Arizona before combining to form Lymbyc Systym in 2001. The duo combine acoustic instruments with an abundance of electronic elements to construct their ambient, dreamy tracks that are reminiscent of the Icelandic post-rock band, Sigur Ros. The band has also drawn comparisons to Austin post-rock instrumentalists, Explosions in the Sky, because of their sometimes elaborately embellished yet entrancing passages. The group's newest album, Shutter Release, is due out this November, and these laptop post-rock programmers are definitely worth a look and a listen for those interested.

Check out the Truth Skull video from their 2007 album Love Your Abuser.
