The General - Presented by the Cleveland Silent Film Festival & Colloquium

The General - Presented by the Cleveland Silent Film Festival & Colloquium

Please join us at the Armory for a night of silent film presented by the Cleveland Silent Film Festival & Colloquium! This special showing of The General (1926) at the Cleveland Grays Armory will feature a live score by theater organist Donnie Rankin, performing on the Armory’s historic Wurlitzer, originally housed at Erie’s Warner Theater.

For tickets please visit the EventBrite page here. $25/$22 CSFF members.

From the Cleveland Silent Film Festival & Colloquium’s event page:

A critical failure on its original release, The General is now regarded as one of Buster Keaton’s greatest films. The story is based on actual events during the Civil War, in which Union soldiers commandeered a train called “The General.” In a now controversial decision, Keaton’s version has a Confederate protagonist because he reasoned that it would be harder for Southern audiences to root for the side that had won the war. The film’s narrative is structured around two elaborate locomotive chases that include some of Keaton’s most daring and famous stuntwork including, most famously, an actual train plummeting from a collapsing bridge into a gorge.
