Charlie Chaplin portion of Il Cinema Ritrovato

June 25 - July 2, 2011
Update on the Charlie Chaplin portion of 2011 festival in Bologna, Italy.

Direct from Il Cinema Ritrovato: "We are pleased to announce some of the programs curated by Cecilia Cenciarelli as part of the ten year project Progetto Chaplin:

Kate Guyonvarch and author Lisa Stein, will present the new biography Syd Chaplin, a unique portrait of Sydney Chaplin’s life and art that also sheds light on unexplored areas of Charlie’s career (the presentation will feature a screening of rare home movies).

Also two ‘four-hand’ dossiers:
• One with Kevin Brownlow dedicated to Eddie Sutherland (director, actor, assistant director to Chaplin in "A Woman of Paris" and "The Gold Rush") also featuring a selection of his silent and sound films

• Second one with David Robinson, who will explore, through the analysis of the archival drafts, Chaplin’s script of The Great Dictator."
