Kennington Bioscope presents Silent Laughter Day

READY for rarities?

STEADY for slapstick?

GO for Silent Laughter!!!

Yes, we’re back, with a jam-packed day of special presentations, some rediscoveries and restorations and a few old favourites too.

From the situation comedy of W.C. Fields and Charley Chase to the wild sight gags of Snub Pollard; from the glamorous comic diva Colleen Moore to the slapstick finesse of Laurel and Hardy, we’ll be sampling the glorious breadth and depth of the silent era’s comedy riches. We’re also shining the spotlight on Keystone studios and some of the brilliant – but often overlooked – female comedians of the era. Add to that some exclusive premieres of new discoveries and restorations, and you’ve got a programme absolutely packed with laughs and surprises. All screenings will feature introductions from silent film historians, and live accompaniment from wonderful musicians. Below is the run-down of what we’ll be showing; please note that all films are subject to availability.

Details of  the programme can be found here.

The Cinema Museum will open its doors at 09.00.
