OT: Silent Films with Live Music by Gerhard Gruber

The laws of gravity do not apply to the comic genius Buster Keaton, and as if by miracle he survives his on-screen adventures. In this program specially selected for children, one gag follows the next. The outstanding silent film pianist Gerhard Gruber improvises live at the piano, creating a truly unique cinematic experience.
