Fresh off the pairing of Radiohead albums with screenings of Nosferatu, Blue Starlite Entertainment’s Silents Synced series has announced the next installment featuring R.E.M.’s music. Beginning in February 2025, the band’s albums Monster and New Adventures in Hi-Fi will be used to soundtrack screenings of the 1924 Buster Keaton comedy Sherlock Jr.
“Buster Keaton is one of my favorite actor/director/writers in movie history,” R.E.M. co-founder Peter Buck said in a statement. “I’m honored that in some small way R.E.M. is collaborating with him from beyond the grave.”
Athens will host the world premiere on February 1, 2025 at the historic Morton Theatre at 7pm AND at Ciné Athens at 8pm.
