The 15th British Silent Film Festival
April 19th - 22nd 2012
Arts Picturehouse, Cambridge
Head of the Family (Haynes, 1922)
This year the 15th British Silent Film Festival will take place in Cambridge, with a full programme of silent gems presented with live musical accompaniment from some of the world's leading silent film musicians.
The programme will include rarely seen silent films from the BFI and other archives around the world on a wide range of fascinating subjects such as: P.G. Wodehouse's golfing tales including The Clicking of Cuthbert; rarities based on the charming coastal stories of W.W. Jacobs including The Boatswain's Mate, A Will and a Way and brand new print of Head of the Family; a celebration of the centenary of the British Board of Film Classification with a look at 'What the Silent Censor Saw' and the origins of 'university humour' before the Footlights. This year’s ‘hot ticket’ will be the wildly popular Dodge Brothers performing their distinctive brand of Americana to The Ghost That Never Returns.
Further details to follow.
