- **Event Description**: Step back into the golden age of cinema and experience two of Charlie Chaplin’s most famous films, in a back-to-back screening that celebrates original and contemporary silent film scoring.

Charlie Chaplin’s 1917 short film The Adventurer will be brought to life with an exciting new score by Sally Ford and the Idiomatics, followed by a screening of his 1936 masterpiece Modern Times, with its restored original recorded score.

The double bill offers audiences the opportunity to see two films from different stages of the silent film legend’s career, both featuring his iconic Little Tramp character – and to celebrate 100 years of classic and contemporary silent film scoring.

Sally Ford and the Idiomatics’ score features a rich, groove-drenched soundscape blending live instrumentation and electronica. Expect soaring vocals, cello, trombone, saxophones, keys, flutes and clarinets, percussion and vintage sound effects – all combining to create a vibrant, cinematic experience for a new generation of audiences.

The deckchairs will be out, or you can BYO picnic rug – and bring along a film or music-loving friend to share this very special Big Screen and live music experience.

These classics of silent era films are presented as part of our free series of Silent Cinema with Live Scores.

Presented by Fed Square with support from Insite Arts, as part of Open Air at the Square.

Note: Please note the recent program change from what was originally advertised. The program was originally promoted as Modern Times (1936) with live score by Sally Ford and the Idiomatics.
