Wondering what to watch this weekend? 🎬 May we suggest a little oil, chaos, and silent-era spectacle — FREE of charge? FLOWING GOLD (1924): a homesteading family strikes it rich in the North Texas oil boom. Thunderstorms. Rivalries. A fire sequence tinted blazing red. 1/3

A big thank you to the @slapstickfest.bsky.social team for a great festival. It was a delight to be part of it and to present two Keaton films - many thanks to musicians John Sweeney 🎹 & Frank Bockius 🥁, BSL Paul Mancini 🧏🏻 and to Buster's granddaughter Melissa Talmadge Cox for joining us!

A wide shot of the covered paved walkway outside Watershed cinema, showing the Watershed sign overhead in rainbow colours. Bristol harbourside is visible in the distance.

A view of the cinema screen in Watershed cinema one. In the foreground you can see the back of the heads of some audience members. The screen is showing an image of an original poster from 1923, it shows a man in nineteenth century dress sitting at a table and looking worried. The poster text reads: BUSTER KEATON IN OUR HOSPITALITY A METRO PICTURE IN 7 PARTS. On the right of the screen is a lectern with a person speaking to the audience, a piano with a man sitting behind it, and another man with a small drum kit.

A photo of a cinema screen. On the screen is a smiling woman with short hair and glasses, wearing a green top and light orange scarf. Behind her is a desk with a lamp, and a shelf with watercolour paintings. In front of the cinema screen sits a person with short dark hair and glasses wearing a blue suit and holding a red microphone; and a man wearing black clothes with long grey hair in a ponytail who is signing the conversation for the audience. Some audience members are visible from behind, watching the stage.
