This film is presented by Silents, Please! STL and will feature a special introduction from SPSTL’s Kate Stewart.

We are so excited to bring to the screen filmmaker Benjamin Crew’s brilliant silent edit of Tim Burton’s BATMAN (1989). Accompanied by the original Danny Elfman score and title cards added by Crew, you will have the opportunity to really see and feel the German silent DNA that is splashed throughout Burton’s filmography – and experience Batman in a whole new and wonderful way. We hope you will join us for this amazing opportunity, including a Q&A with Benjamin Crew.

Ben Crew is a writer and documentary filmmaker based out of Chicago. He is known as the writer of the viral “Muppets Present The Great Gatsby” screenplay and for his Mad Men trivia nights. He has made a hobby of reediting existing films and shows with Batman: The Silent Motion Picture being his favorite of those projects.

BATMAN: THE SILENT MOTION PICTURE will screen twice, at 7:00 pm on 8/9 and at 3 pm on 8/12. The 8/9 screening is SOLD OUT!
