Slapstick 2018: Lost and Found

Running Time
75 mins

The Slapstick Festival’s annual selection of recently rediscovered silent comedies is something of a bumper crop this year. Collector Anthony Saffrey introduces four films: two hitherto unknown titles by cinema’s first comic star André Deed; The Lady Skater, an ancient British chase film; and Love and Lunch, an early film by William A. Seiter starring an unrecorded Chaplin imitator, Ray Hughes. There will also be shorts featuring the Spanish/Italian/US comic star Marcel Perez and German genius Karl Valentin. A late addition to the programme is the UK premiere of the Stan Laurel short Detained from 1924, which was previously thought lost.

Film historian David Robinson will be on hand to put everything into perspective and the films will be accompanied live by Daan van den Hurk on piano and Elizabeth-Jane Baldry on solo harp.
