TIM BROOKE-TAYLOR and GRAEME GARDEN
PRIMA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB
Slapstick 2008 presents a delightful evening of entertainment discovering the genius of Buster Keaton alongside two of Britain's best-loved entertainers. Former 'Goodies' and current I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue panellists Tim Brooke-Taylor and Graeme Garden choose their favourite Keaton short films, revealing the works that have influenced their lives and which, they hope, will delight new audiences.
With live musical accompaniment by the Prima Vista Social Club featuring Neil Brand and international friends.
Brand: '... the Doyen of silent film accompanists.' BBC RADIO 4
Brand: 'His playing is amazingly vivid and dynamic and bracingly free of cliché.' SUNDAY TELEGRAPH
--------------------------------------------
Buster Keaton is considered one of the greatest comic actors of all time. His influence on physical comedy is rivaled only by Charlie Chaplin. Like many of the great actors of the silent era, Keaton's work was cast into near obscurity for many years. Only toward the end of his life was there a renewed interest in his films. An acrobatically skillful and psychologically insightful actor, Keaton made dozens of short films and fourteen major silent features, attesting to one of the most talented and innovative artists of his time.
--------------------------------------------
Bristol Silents was formed in August 2000 to promote and celebrate silent cinema and has gone from strength to strength with national tours of silent programmes and the hugely successful Slapstick Silent Comedy Festival establishing an international reputation for live silent film events.
'Bristol Silents has done a great thing for silent films. People as a whole have forgotten how wonderful they could be – how wonderful they still are.' PAUL MERTON
'Bristol Silents is an inspired idea. It is the first time anyone has linked their community to the lost art of silent films ...'
