Silent movie schedule


This page will hold my upcoming silent movie plans. In all cases I provide live, improvised accompaniment on a Roland keyboard.

My next silent film show at the Plaistow, NH Library will be on June 23, 2026. The film will be D. W. Griffith’s America (1924), a semi-fictional treatment of the American Revolution.

You can find silent films and film snippets I’ve accompanied on my YouTube silent film list. The out-of-copyright films come from various sources, including the Internet Archive. Nearly all silent era films are now out of copyright.

These are the films I’ve accompanied for a live audience at the Plaistow, NH Library:

At the Newmarket, NH Library I’ve accompanied:

  • February 11, 2026: Peter Pan (1924)

Several years ago I accompanied several silent films at the Boskone science fiction convention in Boston. I don’t have a good record of the films and dates. On February 15, 2026, at Boskone 63, I accompanied The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1923). The movie was scheduled to be shown with whatever music the video provided, but I made last-minute arrangements to provide live accompaniment.
