Buster Keaton's 1926 action-comedy THE GENERAL is coming to the Robert Burns Centre as part of Art of Action, a UK-wide film season supported by National Lottery and BFI Film Audience Network �
When Union spies steal an engineer's beloved locomotive, he pursues it single-handedly and straight through enemy lines.
Orson Welles called it "The greatest comedy ever made, the greatest Civil War film ever made, and perhaps the greatest film ever made."
Dr Connor McMorran will provide an introduction to the film.
Art of Action is a season of films designed to celebrate the physicality of actors and the stunt performers whose extraordinary on-screen exploits push the boundaries of filmmaking.
