The Cameraman
Buster Keaton film with live piano accompaniment by Paul Shallcross.
Dir: Edward Sedgwick USA 1928, 67 minutes With: Buster Keaton, Marceline Day, Harold Goodwin
Buster Keaton’s last comedic masterpiece before his ill-fated MGM contract removed creative control over his pictures. Keaton plays a street-corner photographer who falls in love with the receptionist of a newsreel production office. In a bid for her attention, he applies for a job shooting on-the-spot news with the only camera he can afford - a totally outmoded, hand-cranked shoebox model. Chaos, romance and laughter ensue. Screened here with live piano accompaniment by Paul Shallcross, who visited the Electric last year with the Travelling Picture Show.
