"Buster Keaton is one of my favorite actor/director/writers in movie history," R.E.M. co-founder Peter Buck said in a statement. "I'm honored that in some small way R.E.M. is collaborating with him from beyond the grave."
The band's longtime manager Bertis Downs added, "The guys were all big Buster Keaton fans well before this left-field idea came down the pike and that everyone in the band, 'likes the uncanny way the music and film work together.'"
Created by Blue Starlite Entertainment owner Josh Frank, Silents Synced launched earlier this month with Nosferatu x Radiohead, a pairing of Kid A and Amnesiac with the silent horror classic.
Its world premiere will take place on February 1st at the historic Morton Theatre in Athens, Georgia, as well as the Ciné art house cinema.
