Silent Movie Concert
11.06.,15.00 Uhr | | Buy TicketShort, black and white, silent and definitely hilarious! Together with the Young Short Film Festival Mo&Friese, the Metropolis shows two Buster Keaton silent classics with live musical accompaniment! Family tickets are available for 5 euros per person. The series is sponsored by the BKM's "Neustart Kultur - Junges Kino" program.
Buster Keaton was not only the most acrobatic, but perhaps also the most cinematically interested (and interesting) of the great silent film stars. His two short films, Honeymoon in a Prefab House (1920) and The Blacksmith (1922), show him at the height of his art. Anyone:r who has ever despaired of a prefab kit will feel at once well understood and thoroughly entertained by his first own film. In both films, a fascination with technical devices and mechanics leads to medium-sized disasters, which Keaton meets with his typical deadpan facial expression and a body that is all the more elastic for it.
- The Stoic Artists' Adventure Duo plays live!
The Blacksmith
USA 1922 | Buster Keaton | Short Fiction | 19 Min.
As a farrier's assistant, Buster Keaton doesn't make it any easier for his master. Among other things, he only ties the horseshoes of a gray horse with a very picky taste in horseshoes instead of properly shoeing the horse; he drives at his master and locks him up; he sells the owner of a brown horse a non-functioning saddle shock absorber and destroys the automobiles that were supposed to be repaired in the blacksmith's shop. Angrily pursued by the aggrieved parties, Buster Keaton makes off at the end and goes on a honeymoon with the gray horse owner.
One Week
USA 1920 | Buster Keaton | Short Fiction | 22 Min.
Buster marries a beautiful woman and sets off on his honeymoon, his uncle paying for the honeymoon in a prefab house. But that still has to be built, and chaos takes its course when the newlyweds start work.
