Balloons, Boats and Bunglers

Join internationally acclaimed organist Peter Krasinski of Brookline as he accompanies an eclectic trio of silent films at Chevalier Theatre at 7 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 2: 1956 Oscar winner “The Red Balloon,” an enchanting tale of a French boy and his friend; Buster Keaton’s frolicking family voyage “The Boat” (1921); and comical convicts Laurel & Hardy in “Liberty” (1929). Krasinski, who accompanied the silent classic “Wings” at Chevalier Theatre in 2011, specializes in improvisational silent film accompaniment. Krasinski also will accompany a short film compiled from videos submitted by Medford residents depicting their daily journeys around town.

Tickets are $10 ($5 for ages 10 and under) and are available through Brown Paper Tickets; at Medford Electronics, 25 Salem St., Medford, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays; and will be sold at the door.

The event is part of CACHE in Medford’s fifth annual Arts Across Medford festival taking place throughout October. www.medfordfestival.org
