Kino Lorber will release on Blu-ray Buster Keaton: The Shorts Collection 1917-1923. The five-disc Blu-ray set will be available for purchase on May 24.

The films in the collection were newly restored by Lobster Films in France, which last year initiated a kickstarer campaign to save 19 Buster Keaton solo comedies as well 13 short films the iconic actor made with Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle and Al St. John. The project was overseen by Serge Bromberg, who was also involved with the restoration of Georges Melies' legendary film "Le voyage dans la lune" a.k.a A Trip to the Moon (1902).
