Film Independent Members, you and a guest are invited to watch The Real Charlie Chaplin in our Film Independent Presents Online Screening Room, powered by Vision Media. A special pre-recorded conversation with co-director James Spinney, moderated by Matt Warren (Senior Manager, Digital Content, Film Independent), included as part of this screening experience.

Charlie Chaplin’s iconic Tramp character made him the most famous person in the world. But who was The Real Charlie Chaplin? From the award-winning creative team behind Notes on Blindness and Listen to Me, Marlon comes an innovative portrait of a complex figure whose life was as extraordinary as his art.

The film traces Chaplin’s journey from the slums of late-Victorian London to the bright lights of Hollywood at the dawn of cinema. Movies that transcended language brought him unparalleled fame and fortune, and a studio empire to enact his obsessive creative vision, before political controversies and personal scandals threatened his ascendancy.

From SHOWTIME, The Real Charlie Chaplin will be available December 11.
