About the film:
Silents Synced is a series of cinematic/music mashups that will leave even fans of the legendary Wizard of Oz/Dark Side of the Moon phenomenon shocked with delight.
The second film in this series couples R.E.M.’s 1990’s alt-rock masterpieces; Monster and New Adventures in Hi Fi, with Buster Keaton’s 1924 slapstick comedy Sherlock Jr. in which a film projectionist (Keaton) longs to be a detective and puts his meagre skills to work when he is framed by a rival for stealing his girlfriend’s father’s pocket watch.

He frequently maintained a stoic, deadpan facial expression that became his trademark and earned him the nickname “The Great Stone Face”.
