Silent classic for Forest Row Festival

The festival in Forest Row will again take place at the beginning of October. Most of the activity will be at the weekend (3rd-4th), with the ninth annual bike ride on the Saturday. There will be a lull in the proceedings in the afternoon when we will show Buster Keaton’s marvellous Sherlock Jr. It’s the story of a film projectionist who imagines himself to be a great detective, with lots of great visual gags, as you’d expect.

Our screenings of silent films with live music have always been a big hit in the past and we have always had a full house. Make sure it’s in your diary.
