New ARTE Documentary: Charlie Chaplin and the Manoir de Ban

16 Jan 2026

In 1952, at the height of McCarthyism, Charlie Chaplin’s U.S. visa was rescinded. He found refuge with his family in Switzerland, at the Manoir de Ban, where he would spend the final 25 years of his life.

This Sunday, 18 January, the European cultural channel ARTE premieres a new documentary in its Houses of Art series, produced by Zentralfilm and directed by Sascha Schmidt, dedicated to Charlie Chaplin and the Manoir de Ban.

The Chaplin Office contributed archival materials to the film, which also features interviews with Eugene Chaplin, Arnold Lozano (Chaplin Office), Olivia Baliguet (Chaplin’s World), and others.

The documentary is already available to watch online on ARTE’s platform until 29 April 2026: Des lieux d’inspiration : Charlie Chaplin et le Manoir de Ban
