Three Ages
Live music by Mont Alto Motion Picture Orchestra
																																																																																																
							Keaton’s hilarious take on D.W. Griffith’s Intolerance portrays love through the ages—the Stone Age, the Roman Age, the Modern Age—with the same actors playing their roles (with Buster as The Boy and Margaret Leahy as The Girl) through the eras.

Three Ages was restored by Cineteca di Bologna at L’Immagine Ritrovata Laboratory in association with Cohen Film Collection. Five elements were inspected, digitized, and compared—three from the Cohen Film Collection in Columbus, Ohio,, while the remaining two were from the Centre National du Cinéma et de l’Image Animée in Paris. The restoration was completed in 2022.
Live music by Mont Alto Motion Picture Orchestra

A chamber ensemble that revives the tradition of silent-film orchestras, Mont Alto Motion Picture Orchestra culls historic libraries of music for its live musical accompaniments. Together, musicians Rodney Sauer, Britt Swenson, David Short, Brian Collins, and Dawn Kramer have recorded and toured widely, creating vibrant, emotional, and historically appropriate scores for more than 125 films. Officially formed in 1994 after discovering the music collection of a 1920s-era theater music director, the ensemble combines precision playing with expert selections to bring silent cinema to life.
