The General by Buster Keaton celebrates its 100th anniversary and stands as a cornerstone of film history. With its precise timing and physical comedy, this remarkably lively centenarian is as entertaining as ever! Keaton stars as the young train engineer Johnnie Gray. He loves two things: the Southern belle Annabelle and his locomotive, The General. The American Civil War breaks out, and The General is stolen by Union spies — with Annabelle on board. What follows is a breathtaking train chase that escalates in speed, danger, and wildly inventive stunts.

Welcome aboard for a fast-paced and entertaining train ride, accompanied by live music. This will be a thrilling experience of a rare kind!

The event is made possible with support from the Bergesen Foundation.
