Frank Buxton Silent Film Festival
Bainbridge Island Museum of Art is proud to present the return of the Frank Buxton Silent Film Festival, a two-day cinematic excursion exploring the pleasures, history, and lost art of silent film. Enjoy eight different films varying between classic comedies, dramatic features, and rare cinematic treats. These film classics are brought to life with live piano or ensemble accompaniment and original scores. Selected to draw attention to the powerful chemistry that exists between the cinematic image and music, these offerings are outstanding examples of how musical scoring can be more powerful than dialogue, imbuing the cinematic material with rich significance and expression.
This year’s Festival is curated by Buxton’s friend and frequent creative partner John Ellis with help from musician, composer, and arts advocate Andrew Joslyn, and collaboration from the San Francisco Silent Film Festival.
