Film Forum Jr.: ‘The Cameraman’

The title character in this 1928 film is played by Buster Keaton, but he gets a lot of competition for the spotlight from a monkey named Jocko. Part of a series developed to introduce classic cinema to children, the movie features Keaton as a greenhorn news photographer bumbling his way through the streets of New York. The picture is silent, but Steve Sterner will perform live piano accompaniment.
