One Week
Buster and his new bride have one week to build a house from an assemble-it-yourself pre-fab kit before their housewarming celebration, scheduled for Friday the 13th. One Week is Keaton's second independently produced film; William K. Everson calls it “an amazing little work, not only in that it predates so many of the later Keaton gags and general bizarre and dream-like style, but in that it is such an outstanding comedy by any standards.... This is still one of Keaton's cleverest and funniest shorts.”
• Directed by Buster Keaton and Eddie Cline. With Keaton and Sybil Seely. (1920, 18 mins)

Neighbors
In this take-off on the Pyramus and Thisbe legend, two tenement lovers are separated by a tall backyard fence, and Buster nonchalantly performs daring acrobatic feats on clotheslines, teeter-totter boards and telephone poles to reach his beloved. The film contains a blackface routine common to the times and some biting jabs at lower-class marriage customs.
• Directed by Buster Keaton and Eddie Cline. With Keaton, Virginia Fox, Joe Keaton, Joe Roberts. (1920, 17 mins)

The Scarecrow
“What Is a Home Without a Mother?” reads the sign on the wall of Buster and Big Joe Roberts' bachelor pad--a marvelously inventive mechanical house designed for effortless living. The two guys also share the same gal, and her father disapproves of both of them.
• Directed by Buster Keaton and Eddie Cline. With Keaton, Joe Roberts, Sybil Seely. (1920, 17 mins)

The Boat
In this strange and surreal comedy, Buster, his wife and kids are all adrift at sea on a boat called “Damfino” that refuses to stay afloat. “The Boat can rank with Keaton's great feature-length comedies. No Keaton film previous to it was quite so sustained in its melancholy, or provided such continuous laughter” (David Robinson, Buster Keaton).
• Directed by Buster Keaton and Eddie Cline. With Keaton and Sybil Seely. (1921, 19 mins)

The Goat
A mistaken-identity crisis precipitates an almost continuous--and continuously brilliant--chase through two adjoining towns where Buster is taken for Dead Eye Dan, Public Enemy.
• Directed by Buster Keaton and Malcolm St. Clair. With Keaton, Joe Roberts, Virginia Fox. (1921, 20 mins)
