Our popular Sound of Silent Film Festival continued in 2007 with a particularly silly lineup of modern silent films featuring modern day clown and vaudevillian Drew Richardson, live performances from the Hard Art Groop including a set at intermission and a new film from Chicagoan Chris Hefner which had just placed at the Chicago Underground Film Festival.
