Silents Synced pairs classic silent movies with epic rock music to bring audiences a unique big screen experience….

Buster Keaton’s 1924 comedy classic is reimaged with R.E.M.’s alt-rock masterpieces Monster (1994) and New Adventures in Hi-Fi (1996).

In this sublime comedy teetering between reality and illusion, Buster Keaton stars as a film projectionist who dreams of becoming a detective.  He uses his limited skills when he is framed by a rival for stealing his girlfriend’s father’s pocket watch.  Keaton reportedly broke his neck performing one of the many dangerous practical stunts in the film.

Whether you’re a movie lover or a rock music fan, this is an experience you won’t want to miss!

Pleases note that prior to the main film, there will be a 22 minute Buster Keaton short, The Balloonatic (1923), which has music composed by renowned Brazilian electronic artist, Amon Tobin. This will then be followed by a 3 minute intro by Josh Frank, creator of Silent Synced.
