Buster Keaton’s Sherlock Jr. with R.E.M.’s Monster and New Adventures in Hi Fi – A Silents Synced Film

Silents Synced pairs classic silent movies with epic rock music.

Following wildly popular screenings of Silents Synced's NOSFERATU (featuring the music of Radiohead's albums "KID A" and "Amnesiac"), the Rio Theatre is excited to bring the second film in the series, Buster Keaton’s SHERLOCK JR. with R.E.M.’s Monster and New Adventures in Hi Fi : A Silents Synced Film, to Vancouver audiences.

Silents Synced is an innovative cinematic experience that breathes new life into the timeless 1924 silent film SHERLOCK JR. By syncing Keaton's brilliant slapstick comedy and masterful physical performances with R.E.M.’s Monster and New Adventures in Hi Fi, the result is a vibrant, surreal experience where Keaton’s absurdly funny adventures as a bumbling, yet lovable detective are accompanied by songs that match the emotional beats, themes, and whimsy of his world. This Silents Synced version of Sherlock Jr. will create a unique sensory experience that will resonate with both old fans and new audiences alike.
