Silent classic for Forest Row Festival
7th July, 2009
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.

On 4th October we’re having a moving picture show. We’re going to screen some cartoons at dusk on a cart up and down Lower Road. It’s a good excuse to dust off the 16mm projector and rig up something low-tech.
It’s a shameless theft of a scene in The Beaches of Agnes where two people push a cart through the streets which projects film of their father as they walk.
