Buster Keaton’s final silent, the Berlin Festival award-winning The Railrodder, was released just four months before his death.

Shot in colour, it features Keaton taking a gag-packed solo rail trip across Canada in an open-top “speeder”.

Also on this bill is John Spotton’s Venice Festival award-winning documentary on the film’s production Buster Keaton Rides Again, with behind-the-scenes moments including the crew’s efforts to dissuade the 69-year-old Keaton from doing a highly risky stunt.
