ArtsFarmington plans to presents two movies with Buster Keaton accompanied by musician Doug Protsik on old time piano at 7 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 27, at Emery Community Arts Center, on Main Street in Farmington. A snow date is set for Feb. 4.
“One Week” is a short film, and “Sherlock Jr.” is the main feature. The movies will be accompanied by musician Doug Protsik on old time piano.

Keaton, a silent movie actor of the early 1900s, was a master of mime, humor and daring stunts. In the short movie a just-married couple is putting together, in one week, their first house from a kit. With lots of tribulations!

In the main feature Keaton plays the character of a projectionist of a theater who does double duty as custodian and, on top of that, has a secret aspiration of becoming a famous detective. Too much and a recipe for trouble! He is in love and a crime is committed by a rival.

Accompanist Protsik is well known for playing old time piano for movies and dances. He is also an ex-pert fiddler and the longtime director of the popular Maine Fiddle Camp.

Admission will cost $15 and is free for children and for UMF students.

Tickets will be available at the door or online at artsfarmington.org. Pay more if you can, less if you can’t, all are welcome ,
