Sensory Friendly Screening
The Kid

Part of Family Matinees (Apr-Jun)
Saturday, June 2, 2018, 11:00 a.m.
Museum of the Moving Image - Bartos Screening Room

Dir. Charlie Chaplin. 1921, 68 mins. Digital projection. With Charlie Chaplin, Edna Purviance, Jackie Coogan. Combining Chaplin's trademark quirky comedy with a tinge of dramatic sentimentality, The Kid is a silent gem that remains a hilarious delight. When the Little Tramp finds an abandoned child on the street, they join to form one of American cinema's most famous partnerships. Chaplin's first feature-length film, which he also wrote, The Kid made Jackie Coogan a famous child star, and proved Chaplin's mastery on all sides of the camera. Recommended for ages 6 and up.

Please note, this screening will be Sensory Friendly with the lights left on, but dimmed, and volume lower.
