This four-part film series presents and discusses the films of Buster Keaton, focusing on the ageless comedies that still get laughs a hundred years later. Presented by filmmaker Brian Stockton.
Buster Keaton's first appearance on film was in 1917. A hundred years later he is arguably the greatest comedy filmmaker of all time. After a childhood spent in vaudeville with his parents, Keaton took early cinema by storm and was at one time the most successful director/star in Hollywood. Comedy on film doesn't always age well, but Buster Keaton is still getting laughs a hundred years later with his inventive, highly visual filmmaking.

For more than 50 years, Regina Public Library (RPL) has played a pivotal role in the cultural life of the city of Regina and surrounding areas. In the mid-60s, interest in a permanent venue for film enthusiasts grew into a program at the Library – a co-operative effort between the local Film Council and the National Film Board of Canada. A landmark year for the cultural, multi-cultural and surrounding business communities was 1975, the year the RPL Film Theatre was officially launched.
