Frank Buxton Silent Film Festival: Day of Silents
A BIMA PRISM PROGRAM
Returning to the stage is the Frank Buxton Silent Film Festival, and this year, we’re doing something we’ve never done before—a Day of Silents!

A Day of Silents will be one nonstop, electric day of live-scored silent cinema, from slapstick comedy to unforgettable drama. Laughs, chills, thrills, and heart, all set to music performed live, right before your eyes.

This year’s Festival is curated by Buxton’s friend and frequent creative partner, John Ellis, in collaboration with the San Francisco Silent Film Festival.
