Running January 21-27, “The Great Stone Face: 1920s Buster Keaton” is an extensive, week-long survey of Buster Keaton’s pre-MGM films dating from comedy shorts One Week (1920) and The Scarecrow (1920) through to Steamboat Bill, Jr. (1928), which features Keaton’s now-iconic wall-falling stunt, as well as Peter Bogdanovich’s critically lauded tribute documentary The Great Buster: A Celebration (2018). Throughout the series, we’ll be showing new digital restorations of Buster Keaton shorts and features twice daily. Come in from the cold and warm up with one of the greatest funny men in history.
Restorations by Cohen Media Group in collaboration with the Cineteca Bologna
