“HANDS UP”

The Utah Film Commission is celebrating during 2024 films that were at least partially filmed here in UTAH!
ALL over UTAH theaters will be featuring films that have a connection with our state. EDISON ST/ THE ORGAN LOFT will screen on January 11th & 12th the hilarious Civil War Comedy HAND UP! Featuring RAYMOND GRIFFITH and Salt Lake born comedian MACK SWAIN. Swain started off in Keystone Comedies and became one the most famous of the silent film stars. He did several films in which he worked with Charlie Chaplin (including THE  GOLD RUSH). That same year the great comedian RAYMOND GRIFFITH co-starred Swain in the hilarious HANDS UP! which starts of our 2024 Film Series. The UTAH Connection will continue on January 24th & 25th with Salt Born JAMES CRUZE’S Epic 1923 THE COVERED WAGON which was filmed along the border of Utah and at Antelope Island and became one of the biggest money makers of the entire silent era! TWO exceptional screening to help celebrate the tribute to film making in the state of Utah.  All accompany by Blaine Gale on the Mighty Wurlitzer.  Don’t miss these great Silent Movie Classics.
