Following the very popular ‘Nosferatu X Radiohead’ for Halloween 2025, we bring you one of Buster Keaton’s best comedies paired with supergroup R.E.M.
In this sublime comedy teetering between reality and illusion, Buster Keaton stars as a film projectionist who dreams of becoming a detective. He uses his limited skills when he is framed by a rival for stealing his girlfriend’s father’s pocket watch. Keaton reportedly broke his neck performing one of the many dangerous practical stunts in the film. ‘Silents Synced’ pairs classic silent movies with epic rock music to bring audiences a unique big screen experience. Here, Keaton’s 1924 comedy classic is reimagined with R.E.M.'s alt-rock masterpieces ‘Monster’ (1994) and ‘New Adventures in Hi-Fi’ (1996). Whether you’re a movie lover or a rock music fan this is an experience you won’t want to miss!
