by Amber Wilkinson

The programme for the third Hippodrome Festival of Silent Cinema has been announced.

The festival - which has been extended from three to five days in 2013 - will run in Bo'ness, West Lothian, from March 13 to 17.

The festival will open with a screening of Oscar-winner The Artist, before stepping back in time to celebrate the golden era of silent film, with movies including Gloria Swanson's Stage Struck, Charlie Chaplin's The Immigrant and Buster Keaton's One Week.

Documentary Baby Peggy, The Elephant In The Room will also screen, celebrating the work of the oldest surviving silent film star.

Additional events will include the first Scottish appearance of film critic Mark Kermode's skiffle band The Dodge Brothers, a screening of rare Japanese silent Jujiro (Crossways) with live accompaniment by electronic ensemble Minima and a primary school event Make Movie Music.
