Hippodrome hosts silent film festival

A SILENT film festival is returning to the Hippodrome cinema in Bo'ness, near Falkirk.

Running from March 16 to March 18, the Festival of Silent Cinema will once again allow audiences in the first purpose-built cinema in Scotland to watch the stars of the silent screen.

Alison Strauss, festival director, said: "With over 1500 attendees in three days, the 2011 Hippodrome Festival was a huge success and we got overwhelmingly positive feedback from our audiences.
