About Carry On Sergeant!
CARRY ON SERGEANT! is a Canadian silent film produced in 1928. Produced at the Trenton Studios – a large production house built in Trenton, Ontario in 1916 – the film was partially shot Kingston. The film originally played in Kingston at the Grand Theatre in December 1928.
This special event will present the original 1928 silent film with live musical accompaniment by famed concert organist William O’Meara with support from Kingston’s own BrassWerks, along with an exhibit from the production’s history and the festival’s 10th anniversary reception.
About the Film: CARRY ON SERGEANT! tells the story of four men from Hamilton who join the army to fight in World War I. Enduring years of trench warfare including the gas attack at Ypres, the film’s lead, Bob MacKay (Hugh Buckler), meets a French woman who waits tables at a tavern and makes personal choices that haunt him.
About William O’Meara: William O’Meara has accompanied films for the Toronto International Film Festival, the Ottawa International Silent Film Festival, the National Gallery of Canada, the Royal Ontario Museum, the Goethe Institute, Pacific Cinematheque (Vancouver), the Toronto Theatre Organ Society, and for the world’s largest festival of silent films, Le Giornate del Cinema Muto (Pordenone, Italy). In addition to accompanying silent films, Mr. O’Meara also enjoys an international career as a concert organist, performing at festivals and concert series throughout North and South America and Europe.
