As part of our 100 Years of Silents series, we present two of Buster Keaton’s most recognisable and beloved films from the year 1925, Go West and Seven Chances, in a special double bill. Both films will be shown with live musical score performed by pianist Meg Morley.
Go West (1h 9m)
With little luck at keeping a job in the city a New Yorker tries work in the country and eventually finds his way leading a herd of cattle to the West Coast.
Seven Chances (57m)
Struggling stockbroker Jimmie Shannon learns that, if he gets married by 7 p.m. on his 27th birthday – which is today – he’ll inherit $7 million from an eccentric relative. But, after Mary Jones, whom he’s mooned over for years, turns him down, he has only hours to find a woman who’ll marry him.
Meg Morley
This screening will be accompanied by a live piano score, performed by BFI Southbank’s resident pianist Meg Morley. Since performing for her first silent film in 2016, Meg has quickly become one of the UK’s pre-eminent silent film accompanists, performing at various international film festivals and playing regularly at the London Cinema Museum.
Various dates starting from 28th August, 6:30pm
