Charlie Chaplin @ Silent Cinema
2nd of December, Saturday | 8:00 PM | Doors 7:30
The undisputed icon of silent cinema, a brilliant actor, director, and music composer, Charlie Chaplin, will be a star of the evening on December 2 at Silent Cinema. You will watch two hilarious films directed and starring him - The Idle Class (1921) and Pay Day (1922).
Just like in cinemas a century ago, the film screenings will be accompanied live on a piano. Only this time by a much, much younger musician Mila Maia.
Chaplin biographer Jeffrey Vance describes The Idle Class as one of Chaplin’s funniest short comedies.
Pay Day is Chaplin's final two-reel short film, described by J. Vance as a delightful, polished work created in just a month thanks to Charlie`s co-op with Monta Bell, a future director and producer, who was engaged as Chaplin's general assistant.
All of the above, plus a glass of the wine of your choice (including mulled wine) will be an unforgettable moment in this Christmas season for you, your friends, and loved ones.
16th of December, Saturday | 7:00 PM | Doors 6:30
This event will take you on a Christmas journey back in time. You will see the first Christmas-themed movie scenes in history, including a one-minute-long, 1898 Santa Claus. The first film adaptation of A Christmas Carol. There will be The Little Match Girl (1902) and one of the oldest animations - 1913 The Insects` Christmas. Finally, Laurel & Hardy will make you laugh and cringe as they try their hand at selling Christmas trees.
The screening of these wonderful films will be accompanied by unique live music - Mila Maia will play both the piano and the flute. Of course, not at the same time, after all, we are not a circus.
Your participation in this event will be even more enjoyable if you try our wine, including white, red, and mulled wine.
Be sure to book a table now for yourself, friends, and family, as the tickets are limited. You can also book a table for someone as a gift.
