Buster Keaton

Master of physical comedy and silent era storytelling, Buster Keaton was born in 1895 in Piqua, Kansas, USA. His directorial career, spanning from 1920 to 1965, predominantly dwelled in the genres of comedy and silent films, with his most renowned works being 'The General' and 'Sherlock Jr.'. Despite no significant awards at major film festivals, his unique authorial style of deadpan expression amidst chaotic circumstances has left an indelible mark on the landscape of cinema.

Keaton, with his stone face and extraordinary physical agility, was not only an unparalleled performer but also a true artist who could transform the simplest of ideas into timeless comedy masterpieces.
