Movie: Buster Keaton Rides Again

Description
Join Beyond the Frame film series host Matt Barry for a ride along with comedy legend Buster Keaton as he travels across the Canadian wilderness by railcar in the slapstick travelogue The Railrodder (1965, 21 min), directed by Gerald Potterton and produced by the National Film Board of Canada.

The program continues with Buster Keaton Rides Again (1965, 56 min), a behind-the-scenes documentary directed by John Spotton that captures Keaton’s creative process during the making of The Railrodder. The film offers a rare glimpse of Keaton telling stories, singing songs, and reflecting on his long career in show business.

Both films will be presented on 16mm prints from the Pratt film collection.
