05/02/2026 19:00 - 20:14

Keaton’s 1924 comedy classic is reimagined with R.E.M. 's alt-rock masterpieces Monster (1994) and New Adventures in Hi-Fi (1996). 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. Whether you’re a movie lover or a rock music fan this is an experience you won’t want to miss!! Sherlock Jr. will be preceded by a special presentation of one of Keaton’s classic short film works, The Balloonatic (1923), soundtracked by a new composition by renowned Brazilian electronic artist, Amon Tobin.  This will then be followed by a 3 minute intro by Josh Frank (creator of Silent Synced), before the R.E.M x Sherlock Jr. feature. 

Running time: 1hr 14m
