For the sixth of these, as hilarious as the previous five, we moved the event from Upper River Hall to Kangaroo Valley Hall (a slight loss of atmosphere, perhaps, but better sight-lines and larger capacity). Brilliant pianist Robert Constable again accompanied some Buster Keaton classics, this time the feature film The Seven Chances [1925], the politically prescient short The Paleface [1922], and Keaton's collision with unholy matrimony, My Wife's Relations [also 1922].

As noted above, 2009 saw the Seventh Annual Kangaroo Valley Buster Keaton Silent Movie Festival, again with pianist Robert Constable (7.30pm Sat Aug 15 2009, Kangaroo Valley Hall; tickets: $25, $5 concession (kids under 16 only), available from Kangaroo Valley Supermarket or by downloading this booking form and posting it, with a cheque, to KVRP). The program included the shorts Neighbours [1920] and The Electric House [1922] and the politicaly incorrect feature The Navigator [1924]. For more information, click here.
