SUMMARY:The Railrodder | The Ride | Mémoire ONF : Gerald Potterton
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nFree Festival presentation of the following films as part
  of the Knowlton Film Festival (August 24 to 28\, 2022):\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Ra
 ilrodder (without words) | Gerald Potterton | 1965 | 24 min\nThis short fi
 lm from director Gerald Potterton (Heavy Metal) stars Buster Keaton in one
  of the last films of his long career. As "the railrodder"\, Keaton crosse
 s Canada from east to west on a railway track speeder. True to Keaton's ge
 nre\, the film is full of sight gags as our protagonist putt-putts his way
  to British Columbia. Not a word is spoken throughout\, and Keaton is as s
 pry and ingenious at fetching laughs as he was in the old days of the sile
 nt slapsticks.\n\nMaster Class following after screening.\n\nThe Ride (La 
 course) | Gerald Potterton | 1963 | 6 min 40\nFrom Gerald Potterton (direc
 tor of the cult classic Heavy Metal)\, this short film depicts the daydre
 am of a chauffeur awaiting his employer. On a hot summer day\, he begins t
 o imagine that it's winter—the residential street where he's parked tran
 sforms into snowy mountains\, and a series of comic misadventures begin. A
 s the car is replaced by a toboggan\, it carries the tycoon away on a dizz
 ying ride. The chase includes some unforgettable antics in the snow\, incl
 uding a piggyback ride on an incredulous skier.\n\nMaking Movie History: G
 erald Potterton (Mémoire ONF : Gerald Potterton) | Joanne Robertson | 201
 4 | 5 min\nDirector and Animator Gerald Potterton recalls arriving at the

 iction.\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nFor more information\, please click here.  \n\n\n
