ACT: Pfaff/Buster Keaton

Pfaff/Buster Keaton
11 March in Kriterion around 23:00

The Odd Job Team/Pfaff will perform a live soundtrack accompanying the short film One Week by Buster Keaton. The Odd Job Team will give an original twist to “performing a soundtrack”. In One Week, Buster Keaton and his wife are building a prefab house. As we all know in this IKEA made world, a lot of things could go wrong in such a situation. Especially when a storm blows in.

The Odd Job Team were formed on a hot sunny afternoon in the hills of Jabugo, near Seville, when Haron Hogenkamp and Bas Jacobs (Pfaff) were trying to build a cottage with just nails and some wood. The situation reminded them a lot about old school slapsticks. They were inspired enough to go for it. Since then the Odd Job Team has worked on three short films and one long silent film by Buster Keaton, enriching them with their particular style.
