music performed by the BQE Project.
 
Donation: $8 ($5 students/seniors)
BCBC Box Office & Directions: (718) 951-4500
 
This screening will be preceded by a workshop/discussion at 6:00 p.m.:
"The trials and tribulations of bringing Chaplin back to life."
 
 
Written, scored, and directed by Charlie Chaplin, "CITY LIGHTS" is known
as one of the all-time masterpieces of silent film.  The film tells the
story of a tramp who falls in love with a blind girl and of his
hilarious hot-and-cold relationship with a drunken millionaire.  Keeping
true to Chaplin's original orchestrations, the BQE Project presents all
of Chaplin's musical themes and subtleties in a chamber setting.
Directed by Tom Nazziola (who also plays percussion), the ensemble
includes pianist John Florio, violinist Lisa DeLuca, bassoonist Dan
Shelley, and bassist Greg August.  Seen this summer as part of
"Celebrate Brooklyn!" festival in Prospect Park, this will be the final
New York area screening before the film leaves circulation and returns
to the Chaplin estate.
 
(This screening and workshop is presented in cooperation with the
Conservatory of Music of Brooklyn College, the Brooklyn College
Department of Film, Brooklyn Center Cinema, and the Brooklyn Center for
the Performing Arts at Brooklyn College, and is made possible in part
through a generous grant from the Catherine Filene Shouse Foundation.)
