Charlie Chaplin is one of my favourite actors.

About three years ago, I learned how to play the harp. And the very first song I wanted to learn was Smile. Just recently, I learned how to play it. Here is a video of me playing Smile, by Charlie Chaplin.

Brand new prints of Charlie Chaplin features and shorts will screen at the American Cinematheque’s Aero Theatre (1328 Montanta Avenue)in Santa Monica between June 17 & 27, 2010.

For many years, Chaplin films had no distribution in the United States. Now, thanks to Janus Films, brand new prints have been made available from the French restorations. We invite you to experience the films of Charlie Chaplin as they should be seen: on the big screen, in the community of an audience.

Please join us for a weekend retrospective of Charlie Chaplin’s timeless masterworks, which also includes screenings of THE CIRCUS, LIMELIGHT, A WOMAN OF PARIS, A KING IN NEW YORK, THE PILGRIM and early Chaplin shorts such as “A Dog’s Life,” “The Idle Class” and “Pay Day”!
