The audience at an earlier screening
The image of a distraught man in a hat staring at us forlornly from behind the bars is iconic in a way that right now, you can picture the image even if you do not know what on earth we are talking about. If that's the case, let us fill you in. The image concerned is, in fact, a shot of legendary actor, comedian, producer and screenwriter Buster Keaton from his film made in 1937, Jail Bait. And this Sunday, a bunch of cinephiles are going to celebrate the filmmaker and four of his short films at an event that is woven together with discussions and Q&A sessions that will follow the screenings.
On the menu is The Scarecrow (1920), The Haunted House (1921), Neighbors (1920) and The Blacksmith (1922). White Wall Screenings, which is organising the event, invites a community of film enthusiasts to come together every Sunday, or fortnightly, and celebrate iconic films or those made by indie filmmakers. The idea behind the venture is to make lesser-known films accessible to the common public and to simultaneously provide up-and-coming filmmakers a platform to showcase their work.
