Students at the University Academy Holbeach will work with professional musicians to produce a soundtrack to the film for South Holland.
They will perform the music live on the night the film is premiered in Spalding and the music will be recorded for the DVD that will be produced.
The DVD will be given free to people who contribute to the project, and will be on sale to help cover costs in the not-for-profit exercise.
The project was the idea of freelance musician Dave Sturt who, along with Theo Travis, has been creating music for silent films for years.
The tour of their first film made from archive material was well received – it had a small but enthusiastic audience in Spalding. Ring 07890 211524 for more details or visit pastlivesproject.com
