Experience the whirlwind of comedy, romance, and action at 'The General' Lucas Theatre screening

Celebrate Silent Movie Day and the 100th anniversary of one of motion-picture history's greatest achievements, Buster Keaton's The General. Inspired by the Civil War-era Great Locomotive Chase that began in Northwest Georgia, this action-packed, fun-filled film showcases Keaton at the height of his physical and cinematic genius. The General features silent cinema's most expensive single shot and remains as thrilling and inventive today as it was a century ago. The screening, presented in a gorgeous 4K restoration, will feature live organ accompaniment by acclaimed organist Ken Double. Described by Orson Welles as "the greatest film ever made," the film’s power is easy to understand when Double channels the Mighty Wurlitzer’s wonders!

Tickets for the film, part of the Wonders of the Wurlitzer series, are free for SCAD Card holders; $10 for students, military, and seniors; and $15 for the general public.
