For the third year in a row, the LNOBT space will be filled with warmth, laughter and unforgettable experiences - the tandem of Charlie Chaplin and the St.Christopher Chamber Orchestra, which has become a tradition, will once again stir up the emotions of young and old. Not only will you be treated to the iconic comedy for the whole family, The Gold Rush, but also to a live soundtrack that will give the film its unique tonal colours. This duo takes to the stage only once a year - don't miss it!
As the Klondike Gold Rush gets underway, a young man leaves his home in California to try his luck. On his journey north, he finds not only a vein of gold, but also wild adventures, friendship and love. This is one of the best comedies of all time, featuring the legendary boiled shoe dinner, the dance with the bread rolls and the cabin balancing on the edge of the cliff. Critically acclaimed in its day, The Gold Rush remains one of Chaplin's most famous works. The original soundtrack will be performed live by the St Christopher's Chamber Orchestra in a film that has delighted audiences young and old for a century.
Screened in original language with English and Lithuanian subtitles.
The Vilnius International Film Festival KINO PAVASARIS will take place this year from 14 to 27 March.
Director’s biography
Charlie Chaplin (1889-1977) is an icon of the silent film era. He is best known as the Tramp, a naive and endearing character who clumsily slips in and out of random situations, recognisable by his shabby suit, black cauldron and cane. The Tramp appears in many of his most comic and popular films of the period, including The Tramp (short, 1915), The Kid (1921), The Gold Rush (1925), City Lights (1931), and Modern Times (1936).
