Dr. James Ripley., director of instrumental activities at Carthage College, talks about the performance this Wednesday night, November 12th, when the Wind Orchestra will accompany a screening of the Buster Keaton silent film classic "Sherlock Jr." This is the third such project with Dr. Ripley and the Wind Orchestra - following on previous screenings of "Metropolis" and "The General."
Stumfilmen kördes över av ljudet och blev en smal sak för cineaster. Joakim Silverdal tycker att det är dags att skriva ut tysta klassiker på recept. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Alla stjärnor kommer en gång att slockna. Det gäller världsrymdens himlakroppar, likaväl som himlen över Hollywood.I Billy Wilders Sunset Boulevard från 1950 drömmer den avdankade stumfilmsskådespelerskan Norma Desmond om en comeback som aldrig kommer. Hon har inte lyckats med något sen filmen fick ljud och krossade hennes karriär.Detsamma gäller hennes gamla vänner.I en scen sitter några finklädda figurer vid ett pokerbord. Vana cineaster känner direkt igen dem: ”det är ju Buster Keaton, Anna Q Nilsson och HB Warner”. Men filmens berättare beskriver dem som dunkla figurer från den tysta eran, som inget mer än vaxdockor i Norma Desmonds kabinett.Stumfilmen var stendöd, redan 1950, det är vad vi får med oss.Men jag har blivit mer och mer övertygad om att den ljudlösa filmkonsten nu, över 70 år senare, fortfarande har förmågan att välta vår verklighet.När min dotter var två år fick hon frågan av en förskollärare vad hon gillade att se på tv. Och då svarade hon, som om det vore det naturligaste i hela världen: Charlie Chaplin.Allt uppstod i ett ögonblick av panik - när Babblarna, Daniel Tiger och Bolibompadraken helt enkelt till slut fick det att rinna över. Vad annars går att gräva fram ur streamingmörkret?Titta där: den böjda käppen, de stora skorna och det kluriga leendet. Charlie Chaplin!Vi började trevande med långfilmen Cirkus. Jag trodde egentligen inte alls på den här idén, men snart märkte jag hur uppslukad hon var. Allt som behövdes var några enkla: “Vad tror du att gubben ska göra nu? Nämen vad hände, sprang han IN till lejonet?” och så sitter en tvååring och tar in ett svartvitt, filmhistoriskt mästerverk från 1920-talet, helt utan talade repliker eller ljudeffekter.Vi upptäckte snart att Chaplin är mer än den snubbelgubbe världen ofta vill göra honom till. Vi har haft många, långa samtal om vad som gör luffaren ledsen, varför han är ensam, varför han har så trasiga kläder.Det är sådant man hinner med när tillvaron tystnar. När det konstanta larmet av hysteriskt animerade barnprogram sätts på paus, om så bara för en liten stund.Men kanske är jag naiv. Med snart 100 år av ljudfilmer är väl ändå stumfilmen dömd till en tillvaro längst ut i vår mediala periferi.Någon som var rädd för det och såg på med avsky, när ljudet trädde in i filmkonsten, var Victor Klemperer.Han var en tysk filmälskare och språkvetare vars dagböcker från 30 och 40-talen är viktiga tidsdokument över nazismens påverkan på det tyska medvetandet.I hans filmdagbok “Ljus och skugga - 1929-1945” får läsaren vara med om hur nazi-propagandans mörker kastas över de tyska biograferna.Men för den som läser noggrant, är den även en spännande ögonvittnesskildring från en biobesökare som var med om skiftet från stumfilm till ljudfilm.För Victor Klemperer var INGEN vän av den tidiga ljudfilmen, om vi säger så.Det är med ett slags glödgat hat han beskriver hur patetiskt dåligt filmljudet var till en början.1929 skriver han: “Vi har nu mött ljudfilmen två gånger och tyckte båda gångerna att den var avskyvärd”.Han tycker att det låter förskräckligt, men ljudkvaliteten är något han förstår kommer bli bättre. Vad som inte kommer åtgärdas är att ljudfilmen utstrålar något konstlat, dött. Ett slags surrogat till stumfilmen.Han skriver att “Filmen MÅSTE vara en konstform med uttryck, liknande baletten, buren av musiken, annars blir den en vedervärdig död mekanism med ett ljud som dessutom skär sig”.Precis som min tvååring, blir han väldigt förtjust när han får se Charlie Chaplin i Stadens ljus. En stumfilm som med filmmusik och några enkla ljudeffekter hånar ljudfilmen. Som när Chaplins luffare sväljer en visselpipa och försöker sjunga, men allt som kommer ut är några visslingar. ”En välsignelse att det är en stumfilm, avskyvärt att musiken gnisslar lika illa som i radion”, skriver han.Och när man ser denna eras mästerverk är det svårt att inte hålla med honom.Hur berör inte ansiktena, när ljudet fattas? I En kvinnas martyrium, det kvävande kammarspelet om Jeanne D'Arc från 1928, kryper sig skådespelerskan Maria Falconettis uppgivna uttryck långsamt in under huden.De få textrutorna ger oss absolut kontext, men det är ögonen. Ögonen. De stora uttrycksfulla ögonen som vittnar om mänsklighetens grymheter. De är starkare än all dialog i världen.Den tittare som ger sig hän, sitter till slut bara och gråter.Men tiden sprang förbi, även Chaplin började göra ljudfilm och med tiden verkar till och med Victor Klemperers syn på filmljudet mildras.Redan 1932 måste han erkänna att Marlene Dietrich och Emil Jannings skådespeleri lyfts när han får höra deras röster i Blå Ängeln. ”Klangen i detta organ”, utbrister han och när han några år senare ser musikalfilmen “Broadways melodi” är han istället förtrollad av ljudet. ”Vi sitter hänförda till den sista bilden OCH tonen”, skriver han.Men den där kraften då? Som kan få en två-åring att 100 år senare sitta hänförd i en timme och tjugo minuter?Om Victor Klemperer fortfarande var med oss - och om han skulle känna det glödgade hatet mot ljudfilmen blossa upp igen - skulle han bara behöva plocka upp valfri webbläsare, söka upp sin favoritfilm och trycka på play.Nu är stora delar av stumfilmsskatterna från 20 och 30-talen digitaliserade och ofta har rättigheterna gått över till att bli allmän egendom. Så den som vill se, kan se, utan problem.Stumfilmens kvalitet i vår moderna samtid börjar inte med stumfilmen, den börjar med dig.För när inga ljud hörs, inga röster ljuder, är det vi tittare som får jobba. Att se stumfilm är att sitta längst fram på soffkanten, framåtlutad, redo att ta in.Då behöver stumfilmen inte bli ett museum, då kan den bli ett tempel. En plats före reflektion och förundran. En plats för lugn och verklig eftertanke.I den moderna människans rusande tillvaro, där stressen äter sig in i porerna, borde stumfilm kunna skrivas ut på recept.För när jag och mina barn vaggats in i tempot från en stumfilm, märker vi snart hur vårt medvetande ställts om.Ofta tar det några minuter, vi skruvar på oss, men sen är det som om världen långsamt börjar tippa och vi själva snubblar in i filmen. Precis som när Buster Keatons biografvaktmästare i Sherlock Jr kliver fram till filmduken och in i filmen för att själv blir sagans mästerdetektiv.Att se stumfilm kan bli som att finna det verkliga värdet i tystnaden. Något som inte handlar om frånvaro, utan om närvaro.När två-åringen nu blivit fyra och själv vill välja brukar det blir Frost, eller Lejonvakten på tvn. Men ibland, ibland är det Chaplinboxen som åker fram och vi hämtar lillebror, sätter oss längst fram på soffkuddarna, lutar oss in, tills vi ramlar, rakt ner i filmhistorien.Joakim Silverdalfilmkritiker och reporter på kulturredaktionenTre bästa stumfilmerna att se med dina barn:”Guldfeber” av Charlie Chaplin”Busters miljoner” av Buster Keaton”Upp genom luften” med Harold Lloyd (regi: Fred C.

Welcome back to The Film Library, a Kanopy podcast where we dig up hidden gems, cult comedies, and laugh-out-loud classics — no film degree required. This week, hosts Kristy Puchko (Entertainment Editor at Mashable) and Jeff Rauseo (film fan, VHS romantic, and proud meme connoisseur) dive headfirst into the wonderfully weird world of comedy. From Buster Keaton's silent-era stunts in Sherlock Jr. and a madcap treasure hunt in It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World to DIY VHS spoofs in Be Kind Rewind, cult board game chaos in Clue, and the forever iconic teen masterpiece Clueless — Kristy and Jeff share the picks that still crack them up and remind us why laughter never goes out of style. If you need a break from doomscrolling or another sitcom rerun, let this episode guide you to comedies that hold up, surprise, and deserve a spot on your next movie night.

Odds and Ends: We answer a viewer question (that viewer is me) about what movie titles bother us; also, our beloved sidepod The Boys Will Be The Boys is back in town... which really just means we talked about the newest season of The Boys Feature Film: We talk about a couple classics of the silent era from one of the giants, Sherlock Jr. and The General. T.J. used the excuse of it being the 100-year anniversary of the former, but really, he just wanted to talk about these and Buster Keaton on the show. Both movies highlight his great comedic chops and his knack for nearly killing himself in basically every shot of his movies.

Odds and Ends: Twisters saves movies, and T.J. thinks it's just a nice movie; Nick saw Longlegs, which is less nice; T.J. also gives a shoutout to The Watchers, which has all the Shyamalan trademarks, for better and for worse Feature Film: We're talking about the IFD oddity Space Thunder Kids, a hodgepodge anime thing that's actually eight other anime movies that are in themselves kind of rip-offs of other anime, and also there's like a dozen of these. How is that possible? No, really, how is that possible? I'm asking you, because I haven't been able to figure it out for twenty years.

In the 1930s, St. Petersburg, Florida, became a spot for filmmakers to attempt to relaunch their career.

Buster Keaton's silent comedies were classics, but they were also action thrillers. He was one of the greatest and gutsiest stuntmen/actors in history. That stuff is phenomenal, so the only real problem with The Navigator is the same as it was in Sherlock Jr last year. Namely, the movie just isn't all that funny. The Navigator's ending sequence has the most laughs and most of the best stunts though. And it helps that Stoneface has chemistry with Kathryn Maguire, who was also his lady love in Sherlock Jr. Here they're in a movie about two pointless, rich people having to fight for their lives while lost at sea. We eventually get into some casual racism, but The Navigator IS a century old. So, instead of dwelling on that, have fun making bad breakfast and then defending your ship from hungry natives as this 561st episode of Have You Ever Seen ambles through The Navigator. For The Record: Monday's episode will be Ruben Ostlund's Force Majeure.

This is our last show for two weeks, because Grierson is about to go to Toronto. So we have a lot of fun. Our one new movie is the end of the Denzel Washington action trilogy "The Equalizer 3." Then we go big with our Reboots, with the Buster Keaton classic "Sherlock Jr." and the Chris Smith cult documentary "American Movie." Timestamps: 13:32: "The Equalizer 3" 39:22 "Sherlock Jr." 1:03:44 "American Movie" Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music. We hope you enjoy.

Never Did It: A podcast for folks who like movies but haven't seen them all yet. This week, we go back almost 100 years to 1924. Brad Garoon starts by recommending Buster Keaton's Sherlock Jr. Brad and Jake talk about Keaton's influence on both action and comedy films over the last century, and how the movie continues to hold up today. Jake assigns Brad the Thief of Bagdad, a swashbuckling adventure starring Douglas Fairbanks and directed by Raoul Walsh. They marvel at the cutting edge special effects of the day, the sweeping cinematography, the engaging second and third acts, and get a bit of a history lesson about the cast and director. Other movies mentioned in this episode: Batman: The Silent Motion Picture (2021), Birth of a Nation (1915), Broken Blossoms (1919), Arabian Nights (1942), Seven Samurai (1954), The Purple Rose of Cairo (1985), Batman (1989), Aladdin (1992), Last Action Hero (1993), Coneheads (1993), Jackass (2002), Hot Rod (2007), Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021), John Wick 4 (2023).

Buster Keaton released two features in 1924 - “Sherlock Jr.”, a film that was considered a commercial disappointment at the time but has grown in stature over the past century, and “The Navigator'', a colossal box office hit that hasn't aged nearly as well. Actor and lover of old-timey things James Urbaniak makes his long-awaited debut on the pod (originally promised back in our Shyamalan days!) and we're getting into the billiards bits, boat gags, razor puns, and movie magic that make this double feature so special. Guest Links: See James in The Country Club as well as Venture Bros: Radiant is the Blood of the Baboon Heart when they come out.

This week we are reviewing our first silent film on COtR, Sherlock Jr. When this film was requested there may have been a little bit of trepidation because a nearly 100 year old film isn't really in our wheelhouse, but when we saw that beautiful 45 min runtime, we were all in. There may have been varying degrees of enjoyment from the group, but each of us were still entertained. Turns out, Buster Keaton, pretty good a what he does. Enjoy!
Back in the "studio" for another episode! As we close in on the last 5 years of silent film, we're getting some true bangers. The hits keep coming! We've got the movie that was Cris's introduction to loving silent film, Sherlock Jr., and the action adventure masterpiece The Thief of Bagdad, a movie that seems chemically engineered to be a Glen favorite. Plus Lon Chaney has a stunning turn as cinema's OG sad clown. Check it out! You can watch along with our video version of the episode here on Youtube!

Do you love fake mustaches and perfectly choreographed stunts? Are you an old-timey film projectionist? Do you dream about cracking the case with a crime crushing criminologist? Then Sherlock Jr. (1924) is the movie for you! Check out this Buster Keaton silent comedy classic that will have you laughing out loud and repeatedly saying "how did he do that?!". Host, Sara Greenfield and her guest Susan-Kate Heaney, creator of the Buster Keaton inspired short-film Buster Baby, chat about all this and more on this week's episode of Talk Classic To Me. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sara-greenfield/support
In this episode, I discuss with Polly Rose about Buster Keaton. Polly is a film editor by trade and is working on her Ph.D. with her paper on Buster Keaton as an editor.The DVD commentary Polly recorded for the early version of Our Hospitality: https://eurekavideo.co.uk/movie/buster-keaton-our-hospitality-go-west-college/The article Polly wrote for the International Buster Keaton Society on the making of Sherlock Jr (free download): https://research-information.bris.ac.uk/en/publications/he-floats-from-the-operating-booth-the-tale-not-told-of-sherlock-Slapstick Festival: https://slapstick.org.ukSouth West Silents: https://www.southwestsilents.comThe International Buster Keaton Society: https://busterkeaton.orgCharlie Chaplin's digitized archive: http://www.charliechaplinarchive.org/en/
A-Z continues and we are on the letter S! It was supposed to be Shaolin Master Killer, but as you can see it is not. Aaron Lowe from Incredible Two-headed Podcast joins me in talking about the silent classic, celebrating its 99th birthday, Sherlock Jr. (1924), directed by Buster Keaton. If you haven't seen it, I suggest you check it out on Tubi with ads or on YouTube, link provided. It's an early example of stunt work on film. It's really crazy stuff... reckless really. Nevertheless, at just 44 minutes, the film delivers with its dream setting, lending to a unique American cinematic surrealism that works really well with the film's gags. Watch the film, we spend time talking about the various tricks and stunts and it's much better if you've seen what we're talking about. Towards the end of the show we trail off and talk about Turner Classic Movies (TCM) and the now defunct block of late-night programming that included mostly cult and b-movies, TCM Underground. While you listen to this episode give us a follow on instagram: @dialfpodcast. Dial F for Film is a podcast about the love of movies and host's -- J. Carlos Menjivar -- attempt to watch 1001 movies before he dies. A lover of lists and film, Carlos is a firm believer that all film lists should be tackled with one goal in mind: completion. Steven Jay Schneider's "1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die" is the subject of this podcast. Each episode features one guest and five movies from the massive list, compiled into themed lists by the host. Guests each week will select one category without any prior knowledge as to what films are included. Once a category is chosen, Carlos reveals the five films and the viewing begins. The guests then come on Dial F for Film via Zoom and the discussion begins.
The Fellowship is pleased to present our conversation with Madeleine Holly-Rosing, creator of the Boston Metaphysical Society series. She launched her latest Kickstarter campaign this week for the start of a new chapter, Mystery at Pike's Peak. Plus our usual random talk, geek news, and tangents
Hey gang, we are back for the first episode of 2023 (well the first one featuring the 3 of us), to discuss the nearly 100 year old Buster Keaton classic - Sherlock Jr. As this film was raised late last year, we decided to cover it (seeing as one of us had never seen it or a Keaton film at all). As always, there is a myriad of tangents, the whip out your junk section returns, as does The Nes' 'RUE BRITANNIA' segment. See ya next episode, for a Tom Cruise classic (it isn't what you think it is) Enjoy Donate to our show via the ko.fi link below https://ko-fi.com/midnightmoviecowboys Come join us on our discord server on the link below. https://discord.com/invite/bDeW3nF3WM?fbclid=IwAR0xfTlUR3GqlfCSL0uaRbtJDn70BITg5sV6ZGFXAZTQXwgTisDn6BEBtnY
A Buster Keaton film hasn't been reviewed on this channel in going on 10 years, so Sherlock Jr. seemed like the perfect way to end that drought. It's an acclaimed pratfall comedy done by the stone-faced silent stuntman who also knew how to tickle the bones that are funny. But is this movie actually funny? It's rightly famous for the gimmick where Keaton's projectionist character has a dream and literally walks into the movie he's screening. Before the superior second half and also during the first half set in the real world, he does some crazy brave things. The print is great. It's a fun watch. But...is it funny? Ryan has a lengthy oral essay trying to answer that very question in this 483rd episode of Have You Ever Seen, so mouth along to the silent antics as one man digs into the 99-year-old Sherlock Jr. To save 205 off your next order of Sparkplug Coffee, go to "Sparkplug.coffee/hyes" and use that promo code.

With obsessive attention to historical detail and a fascination with lore, language, and ritual, there is no mistaking THE NORTHMAN for the work of anyone but Robert Eggers (“The Witch,” “The Lighthouse”). But despite a bigger budget and a much bigger canvas, does the director's new Viking revenge epic add up to anything but a bloody good time?
