Did you know silent films were never intended to be silent? Rather, they were interactive experiences with live musicians where audiences would talk, often cheering, booing and hissing at the characters on screen. Bring a friend and immerse yourself in the not so silent film experience with this movie made by the industry’s pioneer, Charlie Chaplin
Chaplin performs in one of his most celebrated works as the Little Tramp when he heads north to join the Klondike gold rush of the 1890s. The story follows his adventures as he prospects for gold fighting off greedy competitors.
Released in 1925, Gold Rush contains some of his iconic comedy sequences including the boiling and eating of his boot, the dance of the rolls and the teetering cabin. This film has been selected for preservation in the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress.
