Exciting World premiere performed with the movies by the Grand Feature Film Orchestra
Sherlock Junior (1924)
Buster Keaton is one of the silent era's greatest filmmakers and physical comedians. In this legendary feature, Keaton attempts to win the heart of his true love by solving crimes like the great Sherlock Holmes with unexpected consequences.
The GFFO Is excited to bring movie music fans this hilarious comedy feature as part of the California Festival: A Celebration of New Music. We're doubly excited to pair the classic film with a brand new epic musical score by our composer-in-residence, Evan Losoya!
Also included will be a short featurette cartoon, A TALE OF TWO KITTIES, and an overture before the feature.
“Self-referentiality, impeccable stunts and eye-popping cinematography: Keaton's grace and visual wit are unmatched even today.”
- Sunday Times (UK)
“Like all Keaton comedies Sherlock, Jr., is constructed with amazing ingenuity.”
- Life Magazine
"A master of movement and stillness, Keaton developed a comedy style that was as intellectual as it was physical…"
- Los Angeles Times
