Unique new cinema concept comes to Birmingham cinemas
Silent Synced pairs legendary films with era-defining albums, with R.E.M x Buster Keaton’s Sherlock JR opening on 5th February
After making its UK debut with Nosferatu matched with Radiohead’s Kid A and Amnesiac, the new cinema concept Silent Synced has announced its next showings: Buster Keaton’s 1924 classic Sherlock Jr. scored live to R.E.M.’s Monster and New Adventures in Hi-Fi.
Screenings will take place nationwide from 5th February 2026, including:
-Odeon Birmingham New Street
-The Mockingbird Cinema Birmingham
-Cineworld Birmingham Broad Street

Silents Synced is a new concept which pairs silent films with era-defining albums, reimagining cinematic sound and storytelling. Each pairing is carefully curated to create emotional and thematic synchronicity between film and music, bringing fresh life and renewed energy to century-old works.
Sherlock Jr. follows a daydreaming projectionist who imagines himself as a detective inside the films he screens, featuring breathtaking stunts that cemented Buster Keaton as a visionary of physical comedy and cinematic imagination.
R.E.M.’s music, which spans the raw alt-rock power of Monster to the expansive ambition of New Adventures in Hi-Fi, brings a thrilling new dimension to Keaton’s surreal, genre-bending comedy.
