Charlie Chaplin: Keystone Comics
Lunedì 13/05 - ore 09:30

At Giunti Odeon, for the first time in a restored version, the complete selection of the 34 comedies performed and filmed by Charlie Chaplin for the Keystone Company between 2 February and 7 December 1914. In less than twelve months Chaplin went from being an almost unknown vaudeville actor to a film star. He learnt to conceive, direct and edit his own films: just one year of whirlwind activity and a world taking shape, a character gradually taking possession of his own suit, a filmmaker conquering his place in front of and behind the camera. Keystone Comics records, in real time, and with a dynamism, vitality and energy that is unrepeatable, the birth and evolution of one of the 20th century's most universal characters. It took seven years of research in archives all over the world to recover the best existing materials and to enable the restoration of the entire Keystone comic corpus. An international project launched in 2003 by the Cineteca di Bologna, the British Film Institute and Lobster Films in collaboration with the Association Chaplin now makes it possible to see them again in the best conditions and with new musical accompaniments.
