The Northrop
A classic silent film from 1928, The Cameraman is considered one of slapstick comedian Buster Keaton’s best. The romantic comedy follows a simple photographer who dreams of capturing video for the news, but continually finds himself in various wrong places at the wrong times. The zany action on screen will be accompanied live by organist Aaron David Miller, a maestro on the historic Northrop Aeolian-Skinner pipe organ. The soundtrack will be improvised during the film—just as was done in early 20th century theaters. 

Advisory: This 1928 film contains negative depictions of people or cultures.
