R.E.M. X Buster Keaton's Sherlock Jr: Silents Synced

Silents Synced pairs classic silent movies with epic rock music to bring audiences a unique big screen experience. Buster Keaton’s 1924 comedy classic is reimagined with R.E.M. 's alt-rock masterpieces Monster (1994) and New Adventures in Hi-Fi (1996). In this sublime comedy teetering between reality and illusion, Buster Keaton stars as a film projectionist who dreams of becoming a detective. He uses his limited skills when he is framed by a rival for stealing his girlfriend’s father’s pocket watch. Keaton reportedly broke his neck performing one of the many dangerous practical stunts in the film.

Whether you’re a movie lover or a rock music fan this is an experience you won’t want to miss!

The screening will begin with a 22 minute Buster Keaton short, The Balloonatic (1923) which has music composed by renowned Brazilian electronic artist, Amon Tobin. This will then be followed by a 3 minute introduction by Josh Frank (creator of Silent Synced), before the R.E.M x Sherlock Jr. feature begins.
