Talkies Community Cinema to bring you silent comedy from one of the all-time greats – Buster Keaton – with live organ improvisation from Christ Church Southgate’s very own David Hinitt and Adam Dickson, set within the breathtaking setting of our candle-lit church. Cash Bar!

Following on from the roaring success in 2014 and 2015 of silent films at Christ Church Southgate set to live organ music, this year we bring you silent comedy from one of the all time greats – Buster Keaton – with live organ music from Christ Church’s very own David Hinitt and Adam Dickson.

Buster Keaton is one of the era’s most admired and respected silent film artists. Behind the deadpan expression and trademark porkpie hat was a filmmaking genius who conceived and engineered some of the most breathtaking stunts and feats of visual trickery, while never losing sight of slapstick cinema s primary objective: laughter.

Films to be shown :

Back Stage – 1919 – Dir. Roscoe Arbuckle

“Material was the last thing in the world I thought about. You only had to turn me loose on the set and I’d have material in two minutes, because I’d been doing it all my life.” – Buster Keaton

One Week – 1920 – Dir. Eddie Cline & Buster Keaton

“I always want the audience to out-guess me, and then I double-cross them.” – Buster Keaton

The Goat – 1921 – Dir. Buster Keaton & Mal St Clair

“What you have to do is create a character. Then the character just does his best, and there’s your comedy. No begging.” – Buster Keaton

The Boat – 1921 – Dir. Eddie Cline & Buster Keaton

“Think slow, act fast.” – Buster Keaton

Proud to be Enfield’s first Inclusive Church where all are welcome.

Our organ and organists are fantastic. Come back and hear them (and our acclaimed choir) every Sunday at 10am and 6.30pm!
