Slapstick 2012: Keaton, A Hard Act to Follow
Kevin Brownlow presents documentary footage to illustrate his work, experiences and encounters in filming the definitive Keaton documentary, A Hard Act to Follow (1986). With its spectacular sequences which recreate the filming of the collapsing railway bridge in The General (the most elaborate scene in all silent comedy) this promises to be a fascinating event and a unique opportunity to discover the creative methods of one of the greatest figures of film comedy, through the eyes of one of the world's most pre-eminent film historians.
Don't miss KEATON: Brownlow & Garden on Thu 26 Jan 17:40.
Fee: £7.20 full / £5.60 concessions.
