R.E.M. X Buster Keaton's Sherlock Jr

Director: Buster Keaton

Starring: Buster Keaton, Kathryn McGuire, Joe Keaton

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! Sherlock Jr. will be preceded by a special presentation of one of Keaton’s classic short film works, The Balloonatic(1923), soundtracked by a new composition by renowned Brazilian electronic artist, Amon Tobin.
