Films by comedy duo Laurel and Hardy will be the main attraction at a special weekend at Clevedon's Curzon Cinema.

As a tribute to the pair, a programme of their short movies will be screened on the projectors from the cinema's heritage collection on October 24 and 25.

Movies will include The Music Box as well as Hog Wild, the rarely seen Men of War and the Laurel and Hardy Murder Case.

Big Business and Do Detectives Think provide the main silent content of the programme.

All the showings are on film, to demonstrate how these movies were seen both in the cinema and in the home before video and DVD.

Those films will be on either 8mm or 16mm, but the showing of Boys Will Be Boys on 9.5mm.

There will also be a special demonstration of a 9.5mm notched film on the cinema's Pathescope Lux projector.

The exhibition of the heritage collection, one of the most comprehensive exhibitions of cinema and home cinema collections in the country, will also be on show.

The collection is open from 10.45am until 3pm and the film demonstrations begin at 11am and the last film is at 2.10pm.

Entry to the collection is free.
