  Silent 1928 • Live Accompaniment by Robert York on the Mighty Wurlitzer • Introduction by Film Archivist Stan Taffel • In the last film he made during the silent era, Charlie Chaplin revels in the art of the circus, paying tribute to the acrobats and pantomimists who inspired his virtuoso pratfalls. Packed with perfectly timed gags, high-wire antics, and one of Chaplin’s most poignant endings, it’s a heartfelt mix of laughter and longing that earned Chaplin a special Academy Award. A beautiful showcase of Chaplin at the height of his silent-era genius.

A stage illusionist turned film pioneer, Méliès astonished early 20th-century audiences with whimsical journeys to the moon, under the sea, and through enchanted kingdoms, all conjured with hand-painted backdrops, camera tricks, and boundless imagination. This program celebrates this visionary filmmaker and the dawn of cinema.
