The Arc cinema program's end is imminent. But its program manager, Quentin Turnour, has arranged a special day to celebrate an icon of cinema. This year is the 100th anniversary of Charlie Chaplin's first screen appearance as the Tramp – in the Keystone film Kid Auto Races at Venice – and Mr Turnour has organised a program of screenings of restored early Chaplin films, Chaplin documentaries and a discussion about his legacy. As part of the celebration, he has invited some of the musicians who have accompanied Arc screenings of silent films and some new talents.
