If you live in the Fairfax area, chances are you’ve passed by, looked at the Silent Movie Theatre’s exterior, and wondered what was going on inside. Join us for a meet-and-greet potluck on our beautiful Spanish backyard patio, followed by a free 35mm screening of Chaplin’s ’30s classic Modern Times.
Join animation historian Jerry Beck for an entire buffet of 35mm Technicolor cartoons from the ‘30s, ‘40s and ‘50s.
Unseen theatrically for decades, and screened from a rare 35mm print — this feature doc has the urgency of a breaking-news telecast, the emotional complexity of a sudsy soap opera, and the deep, dank evil of a classic chiller. Director in person!
