The festival continue through the weekend with showings of silent films, whilst on Saturday evening trumpeter & composer Guy Barker and jazz vocalist & pianist Ian Shaw join forces for a performance celebrating music from films. The festival concludes with Matthew Trusler and Ashley Wass taking the audience on a musical tour of Charlie Chaplin's life.
