Hippodrome Festival of Silent Cinema

Welcome to Scotland’s only silent film festival:
A galaxy of stars. Three jam-packed days. One unique cinema.

Friday 16 March - Sunday 18 March 2012

What a weekend! Thank you to everyone who came for three days of workshops, performances and films spanning all kinds of films from three decades of the silent era.

There was film explaining, magnificent swashbuckling, clip-clopping on coconut shells, messing about with Laurel and Hardy, enchanting live musical accompaniment, and some stunning opening night frocks.
