THE BUSTER KEATON SHORT FILM FESTIVAL
Five films, five musicians, one night, one theater. The Trylon Cinema and Syncopated Silents present the first BUSTER KEATON SHORT FILM FESTIVAL, five short films with five individual musicians accompanying each.

TRYLON TENTH-ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION
This little movie sanctuary has thrived because of the dedication of our volunteers and the loyalty of our wonderful audiences. From our beginnings—building the Trylon from the ground up in an empty Longfellow neighborhood warehouse—to our major 2017 expansion and renovation, we’ve continued to grow. We’re springing into the future with—what else?—a full day of movies. We will screen five films, all on rare 35mm prints or new restorations. Tickets are $10 per film, $40 for all five; on sale…
HAUSU
(1977, 35mm, 88m, Japanese w/English subtitles) dir Nobuhiko Ôbayashi w/Kimiko Ikegami, Miki Jinbo, Kumiko Ohba.

ENTER THE DRAGON
(1973, 35mm, 102m) dir Robert Clouse w/Bruce Lee, Jim Kelly, John Saxon, Kien Shih. When a drug kingpin (Shih) hosts a martial arts tournament, Lee (Lee) is sent in undercover to investigate.

RONIN
(1998, 35mm, 122m) dir John Frankenheimer w/Robert De Niro, Sean Bean, Jean Reno. This late Frankenheimer gem puts U.S. intelligence agent Sam (De Niro) in the crosshairs of both the Russians and the Irish as the double-crosses pile atop one another. A return to form for the director, this gritty espionage actioner boasts one of cinema’s most stunning car chases. FRI/SAT 7:00 SUN 3:00
DOUBLE TEAM
(1997, 35mm, 93m) dir Hark Tsui w/Jean-Claude Van Damme, Dennis Rodman, Mickey Rourke. Van Damme and Rodman team up in this . . . you know what? Who cares! We get to see Van Damme fight a tiger, and the absurd climax unfolds at the, um, “Colosseum.” FRI/SAT 9:30 SUN 5:30
A BIGGER SPLASH
(1973, DCP, 106m) dir Jack Hazan w/David Hockney, Peter Schlesinger, Celia Birtwell. After his lover leaves him, British artist David Hockney is unable to paint. He sinks into depression, only to find new inspiration in his swimming pool. Once dismissed for its gay content and its blurring of fact and fiction, A Bigger Splash is ready for reevaluation. FRI 7:00 SAT 7:00 9:15 SUN 3:00 5:15
