One of Federico Fellini’s favorites, The Circus is the final film Charlie Chaplin made during the silent era, and is often seen as a metaphor for how he saw his place in the transition from silent to sound cinema. The Circus includes hilarious comedy bits and a bittersweet love story. Some of Chaplin’s most famous scenes and themes make an appearance, the parallels to Fellini’s fascination with clowns are on display, and the sentimentality might bring on a few tears. Live musical accompaniment by festival favorite Jeff Rapsis. Event Url
