Silent Movies on Film Staff Pick
Price: $5-$6
EdisonStreetEvents.com
As digital exhibition becomes the standard for movies, the sound of film running through a projector may start to seem like something out of an ancient time. For the start of its winter/spring 2015 Silent Films Series, Edison Street Events takes us way back indeed, running 16mm film through a projector to showcase some of the great comedians of the silent era. The program—accompanied, as is Edison Street's standard, by Blaine Gale on Wurlitzer organ—features fun-for-the-whole-family shorts starring vintage comedy stars including Charlie Chaplin, Harold Lloyd and Laurel & Hardy (a scene from Laurel & Hardy's Liberty is pictured). You'll also see a short featuring a lesser-known contemporary of those famous performers: Salt Lake City's own Mack Swain, who worked at the legendary Keystone Studios under Mack Sennett. Drop in so you can remember the magical images that made folks call movies "flicks." (Scott Renshaw)
