How well do you know the man behind the legend?
We are thrilled to announce the new French edition of Chaplin’s MY AUTOBIOGRAPHY published by the Éditions Robert Laffont with a portrait by Nickolas Muray of Chaplin looking quite dashing on the cover.
A fantastic new temporary exhibition at Chaplin’s World, “THE FREAK – THE STORY OF A FILM”, curated by Cecilia Cenciarelli & Elena Correra of the Cineteca di Bologna, will open to the public on February 11 and will run until September 24, 2023.
Charles Chaplin’s THE FREAK has been unwittingly misrepresented for half a century. It has long been considered a script on which he laboured dedicatedly and persistently for the last decade of his life and which only time and age finally prevented from realisation. It was not quite like this. In 2016, the Chaplin Office acquired some of Jerry Epstein’s personal and professional archive. A close friend of the family since the 1940s, Epstein was Chaplin’s assistant on LIMELIGHT (1952) and producer of both A KING IN NEW YORK (1957) and A COUNTESS FROM HONG KONG (1967). The revelations of this new, priceless acquisition are brought to light in this new exhibition…
Italian paper engineer and pop-up book artist, Massimo Missiroli, has designed a 2023 Charlie Chaplin desktop calendar, available to all, free of charge, to print and assemble at home. The calendar design includes QR codes to classic Chaplin film clips.
