About this event
Would you like to enjoy a 100-year-old movie accompanied by narration from an amateur benshi (silent film narrator)? This event is a handmade temporary screening projecting video with a projector. Enjoy a silent movie in an intimate, homey setting unlike a typical movie theater. The featured film is "Sherlock Jr.", a masterpiece by Buster Keaton, a comedy king alongside Chaplin. The protagonist is a young projectionist who dreams of becoming a detective. Schemes targeting him, false accusations, unpredictable developments, and Keaton's signature life-risking action! Fresh ideas and unbelievable stunts that hardly seem from 100 years ago will jump out at you. Narration will be provided by an up-and-coming amateur benshi. How will their unique dialogue and narration bring color to the story on screen? Why not experience a unique way of enjoying silent films that offers a distinct flavor from modern movies? Whether you are familiar with classic films or watching for the first time, please feel free to join!
