    Event description

    Composer and musician Justin Firefly (Congress of Animals) has written three new scores for this series of brilliant silent shorts, which will be screening for the first time at The Roxy Cinema.

    A Trip to the Moon (Georges Méliès, 1902). The film that launched an entire genre, it's gorgeous, it's ludicrous and it's heaps of fun - Pamela Hutchinson, Silent London

    Cinderella (1922). Pioneering animator Lotte Reiniger takes on one of the world’s most famous fairytales and makes it her own with her signature silhouette animation technique – Movies Silently.

    The Scarecrow (1920). Buster Keaton's two-reel work in the early '20s was incredibly rich -- nearly every picture is funny and even the shorts that fall short of classic contain moments of comic brilliance. Because Keaton has so much excellent work from this time in his career, some films get overlooked unfairly, and The Scarecrow is one of them – Janiss Garza, All Movie.
