For three days this summer, as part of Open Air at the Square, experience a mini open-air film festival with a difference, featuring a program of classic Indian and American silent films with live music accompaniment.
Each of the film’s scores has been composed specifically for each film, and will be performed by the composers and guests, showcasing bluegrass, Butchulla songman and classical Indian styles of music.
With films traversing the spectra of Indian folktales to early Hollywood monster films and Buster Keaton physical comedy classics, this event series is one to entrance film-lovers and music-lovers alike.
Pack a picnic and pull up a deck chair – and join us in celebrating the innovation and magic of the early days of cinema, on the Big Screen.
Presented by Fed Square, in partnership with Insite Arts.
One Week (1920) and Sherlock Jr. (1924), with live score by Blue Grassy Knoll
Thursday 27 February, 8pm | Main Square
A cinema projectionist (Buster Keaton) who reads-up on how to be a detective in his spare time finds himself knee-deep in a mystery when he is accused of a crime he didn’t commit. Framed and shamed in front of the woman with whom he is besotted, he retreats to a cinematic dreamworld where he can flex his detective muscle. Complete with a slew of physical gags and stunts by Keaton himself, 100 years after its initial release, it’s revered as one of the great silent comedies.
With an uproarious score by gypsy-bluegrass ensemble Blue Grassy Knoll, this special outdoor screening is sure to deliver.
Check out the full program of free live music, outdoor cinema and community events on as part of Open Air in the Square. https://fedsquare.com/events/open-air-at-the-square
