15 silent short films in slapstick produced between 1916 and 1917 and restored in HD.
By 1916, Charlie Chaplin had risen to global fame, and his partnership with the Mutual Film Corporation marked a pivotal moment in cinematic history. The twelve short films he made during this period highlight his remarkable growth as a filmmaker, showcasing his range as both a master of physical slapstick and a nuanced, endearing character actor. He created a series of more sophisticated and melodramatic films. The Mutual Collection stands as a testament to Chaplin’s creative genius and his lasting influence on the world of cinema.
Restoration in collaboration with the BFI, the Cineteca of Bologna, Blackhawk Films and Lobster Films.
