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.
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.
