The projectionist of a small cinema, fascinated by detective stories, falls asleep and, in his dreams, becomes involved in the adventures unfolding on screen, identifying with the famous detective Sherlock Jr. …

A masterpiece of silent cinema, Sherlock Jr. is one of Buster Keaton’s most inventive works. Blending dream, illusion and astonishingly modern technical feats, the filmmaker delivers a love letter to the seventh art that continues to captivate audiences a century later. Accompanied live by three musicians, this silent-film classic promises a unique experience: funny, poetic and deeply cinematic.

Live musical accompaniment
