ArtsFarmington is pleased to present 2 movies with Buster Keaton: “ONE WEEK” , a short film, and “SHERLOCK Jr.” the main feature. The movies will be accompanied by musician Doug Protsik on OLD TIME PIANO. Buster Keaton, a silent movie actor of the early 1900s, is a master of mime, humor and daring stunts. In the short movie a just married couple is putting together, in one week, their first house from a kit. With lots of tribulations! In the main feature Keaton plays the character of a projectionist of a theater who does double duty as custodian and, on top of that, has a secret aspiration of becoming a famous detective. Too much and a recipe for trouble! He is in love and a crime is committed by a rival… Both movies are bound to make you laugh and bring a smile to your face and warmth to your heart. If you have school age children bring them along! Accompanist Doug Protsik is well known for playing old time piano for movies and dances. He is also an expert fiddler and the longtime director of the popular Maine Fiddle Camp.
The performance will take place on Saturday January 27 at 7PM in Emery Community Arts Center, with a snow date of Sunday, February 4 at 7PM.
Doors open at 6:30 pm.
This program is sponsored by ArtsFarmington, an affiliate of the University of Maine at Farmington.
