Buster Keaton stars in the 1926 silent comedy film, The General.
He plays the part of a locomotive driver during the American Civil War, who has two loves, his gal (played by Marion Mack) and ‘The General’ – his locomotive. Thrilling adventures ensue when Buster ventures behind enemy lines. He befalls his own ploys on occasion but he comes out tops in the end.
There will be thrills and spills for everyone and to add to the big screen presentation, Donald MacKenzie, organist from London’s Odeon Leicester Square, returns to the City Hall to provide an equally exciting accompaniment to this spectacular silent film on the hall’s magnificent pipe organ
The Voice and The X Factor’s Uplifted Voices choir give powerful, goosebump-inducing performances of songs like My God, and I Will Follow Him accompanied by a live band while the feel-good film Sister Act, starring Whoopi Goldberg, plays out on a giant screen.
Plus special guest performance from Britain’s Got Talent semi-finalists, Gospel Singers Incognito (GSI).
A special free screening of the British Film Institute’s restored version of South, Frank Hurley’s silent film record of the Endurance expedition, with a piano performance by John Sweeney, a specialist in accompanying silent films.
The film is both a unique historical document, and a tribute to the indomitable courage of a small party of men who set out on a voyage of discovery that turned into an epic struggle for survival.
This restored version of the film has been constructed by the National Archive from a wide range of materials. The National Archive has applied its own tinting and toning to match the original prints, and has produced this handsome testament to a remarkable episode in the history of exploration.
John Sweeney has played for silent films since 1990 at diverse venues including Riverside Studios Cinema, National Film Theatre, Nottingham Broadway and the Barbican Centre, London. His performances bring to life the images on screen as they would have first been seen by audiences.
Film running time: 80 minutes
The tickets for this screening are free and booking is essential.
