Buster Keaton stars in the comedy GO WEST (1925) preceded by the short ONE WEEK (1920), both written, directed and produced by Keaton. With little luck at keeping a job in the city a New Yorker tried work in the country and finds his way leading a herd of cattle to the West Coast, co-starring Brown Eyes the cow. Placed on the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress in 2008 and featuring extraordinary sight gags, ONE WEEK involves a newlywed couple who receive a built-it-yourself house as a wedding gift.
Pre-film introduction and CineClub post-film discussion with Buster Keaton biographer and Slate film critic, Dana Stevens. Book sales and signing of Camera Man: Buster Keaton, the Dawn of Cinema, and the Invention of the Twentieth Century by Dana Stevens provided by Elliott Bay Book Company. Music by Tedde Gibson on the Mighty Wurlitzer.
