Dr. Dani Sanchez<p>They kept the camera rolling b/c once he started, Keaton was indefatigable. He’d often re-start scenes to give another take on the script or to immediately revise his previous interpretation (Photos: Buster Keaton conferring w/Samuel Beckett and director Alan Schneider on the set of “Film” c.1965)<br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SilentFlickerSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SilentFlickerSunday</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Film1965" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Film1965</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SamuelBeckett" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SamuelBeckett</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BusterKeaton" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BusterKeaton</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AlanSchneider" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AlanSchneider</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SilentFilm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SilentFilm</span></a></p>
Dr. Dani Sanchez<p>Beckett was new to film but was headstrong in his aesthetic and intent. Keaton was a consummate performer who was always interested in doing something new (Photo: Keaton&amp;Beckett on the set of “Film” c. 1965)<br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SilentFlickerSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SilentFlickerSunday</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Film1965" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Film1965</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SamuelBeckett" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SamuelBeckett</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BusterKeaton" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BusterKeaton</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SilentFilm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SilentFilm</span></a></p>
Dr. Dani Sanchez<p>It’s said that Buster Keaton and Samuel Beckett didn’t get along but moreso it was just that they worked in companionable silence.

Yannick Rochat<p>Il y a peu d'artistes dans le cinéma qui m'enthousiasment autant que Buster Keaton. Sa biographie (vive les vacances) donne des informations précieuses sur la production de ses films et sur l'ambiance dans le Hollywood des premiers temps, avec quelques recommandations qui peuvent même s'appliquer dans l'académique. Ce document de 1957 permet de déconstruire quelques erreurs que j'avais lues sur sa carrière après ses films muets. On sent qu'il ne dit pas tout. Il y a aussi quelques sorties problématiques, mais lu 68 ans après publication, on fait facilement le tri. Envie maintenant de tout revoir.</p><p>&gt; What I never could understand was why I got so few good ideas during those long story conferences. My best notions would invariably occur to me at home, more often than not in the least inspiring room in the house, the bathroom. But I also never went fishing without coming back with a brand-new story idea.</p><p><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/BusterKeaton" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BusterKeaton</span></a></p>
