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


Buster Keaton’s 1924 comedy masterpiece is coupled with  two of R.E.M.'s alt-rock masterpieces Monster and New Adventures in Hi-Fi in this latest presentation from Silents Synced which pairs classic silent movies with classic rock albums to create a unique cinema experience.


In the sublime SHERLOCK JUNIOR, 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. 


Sherlock Jr. will be preceded by a special presentation of one of Keaton’s classic short films, THE BALLOONATIC soundtracked by a new composition by renowned Brazilian electronic artist, Amon Tobin.
