**STATEMENT OF INTENT**
This 100th anniversary celebration of Charlie Chaplin’s iconic persona, the Little Tramp, or as he himself named him, the Little Fellow, will be an event geared towards the public first and film scholars and aficionados second and third. We wish to invite abstracts/proposals from speakers who can accommodate this audience effectively, i.e., potential speakers should suggest topics dealing with historical or humanities-related foci, rather than theoretical or academic. The best proposals will discuss the Little Tramp persona in some manner.
The event will be held in the beautiful northern Italian city of Bologna, with one day of the celebration to coincide with the beginning of the world-renowned Il Cinema Ritrovato festival (June 28-July 5, 2014).
**PROVISIONAL KEYNOTE AND/OR FEATURED SPEAKERS (OTHERS TBA):**
The following topics are meant to generate ideas for presentations, not limit creativity or exclude participation:
All are welcome to submit proposals for consideration.
Please send a 500-word abstract, a short bio and your contact information by **June 30th, 2013** to Kate Guyonvarch (office@charliechaplin.com). Please place **Birth of the Tramp event** in your subject line.
