RETRO FORMAT - MIDSUMMER NIGHT SILENT COMEDY, 120 min. Before Blue Ray, before VHS, there was 8mm film. Retroformat presents a look at cinema madness, from early productions by Edison (including 1905's LAUGHING GAS) to sophisticated comedy of the late '20s (including a look at a forgotten giant, the Al Christie studios). With Mabel Normand, Ford Sterling, Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy, Mr. & Mrs. Sidney Drew, Charlie Chaplin, Charlie Chase and more!
