Michael, the airforce commander in HIgh Treason, stands in front of his troops. They're all dressed in leather jackets and trousers and aiming guns at the camera.
The UK's answer to Metropolis explores a future world on the brink of war, and how far one would go to maintain peace. #HippFest #SilentFilm #MauriceElvey #SciFi

"Carlotto was full of garlic & gaiety", aren't we all darling? Anna May Wong mesmerising in Song & a man played the accordian & the piano simultaneously live! #Hippfest has been an absolute triumph, a reminder - if we needed one - that the art of cinema has been intoxicating since the beginning.
Laurel & Hardy ( & James Finlayson)

Can't believe it's already the last day of #Hippfest. 14 films down 4 to go. It's been a brilliantly curated and organised friendly festival. 👏 But we still have Laurel & Hardy and Anna may Wong to look forward to at least.
Night two at Hippfest for me, you've really knocked it out of the park with the programming this year, LOVED Saxophone Susy, looking forward to tomorrow already! #hippfest #hippodrome
Enjoyed my trip to the wonderful Hippodrome cinema in Boness yesterday to see High Treason. I do love watching a silent film with musical accompaniment #HippFest
APRIL FOOL was a charming Jewish comedy-drama about a Lower East Side rivalry, given extra sparkle wit BONUS Baby Peggy. Gorgeous accompaniment by @megmorley.bsky.social and her glittering shoes. #hippfest
Day 3 of my #Hippfest Silent Film Festival holiday. Really looking forward to this today. 'Britain's answer to Metropolis' High Treason (1929)

John Garfield (going by Jack) has an early role in this 1919 melodrama, which was a treat at tonight’s #HippFest presentation - a cracking silent film restoration with original live score from Stephen Horne
Saw this yesterday at day 1 of #Hippfest. Amazing performance and film. So clear and dynamically filmed you'd think it was 1960s rather than 20s. Music was 👌
So try and see it next week Edinburgh types.
Finis Terrae + Live performance of a newly composed original score share.google/WPukcB8CLvtx...
So I just arrived in Bo'ness for #hippfest and very much enjoyed Meg Morley's emotional score for the highly vertiginous "The Outlaw And His Wife". More treats to come!

Two days till I officially become an old bag! I'm primed and ready to pick up my bus pass to travel to places as far afield as, oh...Bo'ness? #HippFest htts://www.hippodromecinema.co.uk/hippfest/
By the way, team. #HippFest is up and running for 2026. www.hippodromecinema.co.uk/hippfest/ And they're showing High Treason, which I'm told is 1920s I-can't-believe-it's-not-doctor-who.

Hippodrome Silent Film Festival is back and silenter than ever! dcairns.wordpress.com/2026/02/04/a... #HippFest
Even if those walls are only 3 feet apart. I love GDT's little verbal ticks. "And this and that." He says that all the time in countless interviews. I might have a t-shirt made with those words on it. A bit like the one I got from The Bo'ness Silent Film Festival #Hippfest.
At #HippFest, FORGOTTEN FACES from 1928 proved to be a melodramatic masterpiece: dcairns.wordpress.com/2025/03/25/v...
Truly great afternoon spent at the HippFest: Chinese Spider Women + Monkey & Pigsy and then the phenomenal Smouldering Fires (I shed several tears!), what a great film! THANK YOU so much for yet another brilliant festival! #Hippfest
Saw an absolutely cracking silent film at #HippFest just, 1930’s The Chase After Millions, a German action comedy with two fantastic leading men and astonishing stunts
Chasing after millions down at the hip hip hippfest - WUNDERBAR film, a cross between Mission Impossible, the man from Milk Tray & a bit of Harold Lloyd! I'll be back tomorrow, cheers as always Hippodrome Cinema! #hippfest
Second film at #Hippfest today; Skinner's Dress Suit with @neilkbrand.bsky.social on piano. A gentle funny film and lovely music that will make you smile.
