April is like every year an opportunity to celebrate the birthdays of two great figures of silent cinema - on April 16th, CHARLIE CHAPLIN would have turned 136. On April 20th, HAROLD LLOYD would have turned 132. To celebrate both gentlemen`s birthdays, we invite you to a screening of two shorts: THE PAWNSHOP (1916), and SAFETY LAST! (1921).

SAMUEL BECKETT & BUSTER KEATON are returning to Silent Cinema! The previous screening of FILM aroused so much interest among the viewers that the tickets quickly ran out. This time, the screening will be accompanied by live music performed by GRAHAM KEANE and BRENDAN POOLEY (two of the XOANON trio).

Additionally, we will have the world premiere of Uganda`s very first silent films! Join us for a screening of MULINDUA FREDDIE`S delightful short slapstick comedies: AT THE POND, and THE CRUEL HUNT.

British 1929 science fiction drama, based on a play by NOEL PEMBERTON BILLING, directed by MAURICE ELVEY, starring JAMES CAREW, HUMBERSTONE WRIGHT, and BENITA HUME. The plot and aesthetics of the film are heavily influenced by FRITZ LANG`S METROPOLIS. Women unite to prevent financiers from engineering a socond world war. Sounds surprisingly familiar, doesn`t it?
