Common Grounds: Opelika Auburn Film Art Collective

September 12 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm

Free
A group of figures convene in a busy downtown.

Inspired by The Jule’s exhibition theme of “work,” Opelika Film Arts Collective presents the 1936 Charlie Chaplin film Modern Times.

Poster for "Modern Times" film featuring artwork of Charlie Chaplin and other characters.

From The Criterion Collection: Modern Times, Charlie Chaplin’s last outing as the Little Tramp, puts the iconic character to work as a giddily inept factory employee who becomes smitten with a gorgeous gamine (Paulette Goddard). With its barrage of unforgettable gags and sly commentary on class struggle during the Great Depression, Modern Times—though made almost a decade into the talkie era and containing moments of sound (even song!)—is a timeless showcase of Chaplin’s untouchable genius as a director of silent comedy. 87 minutes.
