THIS SCREENING HAS BEEN POSTPONED.
Suffolk Silents Society is delighted to announce we will be screening Charlie Chaplin’s wonderful City Lights (1931) at 2pm on Sunday 29th November 2015 in Ipswich Film Theatre Cinema 1.
This legendary film was written and directed by Chaplin and features the iconic little tramp falling in love with a blind flower seller, who mistakes him for a kind millionaire.
The sound era was well under way when production of City Lights started but Chaplin decided to use the soundtrack to his own purposes while still leaving the dialogue on intertitles, thereby utilising the best of the modern technology while still retaining the silent film sensibilities of his character and his physical comedy.
This rare opportunity to see on the big screen one of the Greatest Films Ever made (according to Sight & Sound) is available to all. Entry will be a £5 membership fee for Suffolk Silents Society payable on the day.
