Silent (and not quite silent) film plans 2   Recently updated !

The showing of the 1924 film America with my accompaniment went well. You can catch it on YouTube. To be exact, it’s the audio from the Plaistow Library together with video copied from the Internet Archive, the same video that was shown at the library.

My next planned show in Plaistow will be the traditional Halloween horror movie, this time the 1931 Frankenstein, with Colin Clive in the title role and Boris Karloff as the monster. Yes, I know, it’s not a silent movie. But it has little music, and some silent film accompanists have added badly-needed music to it. That’s what I’ll be doing. It’s LIVE!!
