About The Event
The 2025 Cleveland Silent Film Festival and Colloquium continues with Buster Keaton’s classic comedy Go West, which also celebrates its 100th year. The film is being presented with a compilation chamber score by Rodney Sauer, who leads our Cleveland-based ensemble. The score is enhanced with sound effects provided by Radio on the Lake Theatre.
