This event has passed.

Join us for a magical evening of cinema and live music as the incredible Darius Battiwalla brings three silent film masterpieces to life through his virtuosic, improvised piano accompaniment.

Experience the timeless charm and humour of Charlie Chaplin’s The Immigrant and The Adventurer, followed by the ingenious surrealism of Buster Keaton’s Sherlock Junior — all performed with spontaneous musical brilliance that makes each moment unique.

A captivating celebration of classic film, live music, and the art of improvisation.
