Silent Movie Night with Live Music

  • Glen Foerd 5001 Grant Avenue Philadelphia, PA, 19114 United States (map)

Join us for an outdoor movie night with Not-So-Silent-Cinema for a screening of Buster Keaton’s greatest hits accompanied by live original music.

Tumbling through haunted houses, running from hordes of cops, and tumbling down staircases, Buster Keaton delivers outrageous stunts and antics (all with the famous deadpan delivery that earned him the nickname “The Great Stone Face”) in a program of classic comedic shorts.

“One Week” (1920) “Cops” (1922) “The Electric House” (1922) “The Haunted House” (1921)

Enjoy these films along with Not So Silent Cinema's fresh, new original scores, complementing the films with a classic 1920’s urban-Americana soundscape, combining many strands of American roots music. Ragtime and old-time meet the blues, bluegrass, and hot jazz, played live by a talented trio of musicians.
