The General(100 year anniversary)

Considered by most film critics as the last great comedy of the silent era, Buster Keaton’s The General celebrates its landmark 100 year anniversary in this Tyne Valley Film Festival screening, with all tickets just £3.


Taking inspiration from a real Civil War incident when Union soldiers hijacked a Confederate train, The General is silent comedian Buster Keaton’s most grandly conceived project.
