Great to show some Charley Bowers films to a new audience this weekend at The Penistone Film Festival! Every time I see his films, the level of invention and creativity astonishes me.

Thanks to everyone who came along to The Cinema Museum on Saturday for The Sound of Laughter! Great to see so many people laughing at W.C. Fields, Tom Walls, Ralph Lynn, Charley Chase, Buster Keaton, Laurel and Hardy and more. We hope to do it again next year! #filmsky
