The first meeting is set for Friday, July 31 at 21.00, Cinema Teatro Palladium of Cesuna, with the silent movie "modern times" by c. Chaplin, with live piano music of Maestro Hannibal Rebaudengo.

Charlot works in a factory whose inhuman rhythms lead to hospitalization in a mental hospital. When exit is involved in a trade union demonstration and was arrested. After foiled an escape back into the wild and save a street girl from falling in love with her. Their lives will not be easy but the hope in a better future will not fail.
Chaplin, despite the advent of talkies, remains tied to the times and to the rhythms of silent cinema and also in this case relies on the audio for the unforgettable soundtrack and music to the sounds and noises but avoids as much as possible the words (and when he does use the Assembly with surreal effects). In an interview with the New York World "" in February 1931 he had stated: "the machinery that save manpower and other modern inventions were not made for profit but to assist humanity in pursuit of happiness. The hope for the future depends on radical changes to cope with this situation. The wealthy do not want the situation to change. This is not the way to prevent Bolshevik ideas or Communist State ". Five years after the projector light lit on a worker victim of automation and the flock of sheep that is sovrapponeva to the masses.
The Assembly line, the strikes, the poverty that affected who, following the great depression, was finished on the edge of the production system, all this and more came to be part of one of the masterpieces of cinema history. No preachy attitude undermines the narrative. Indeed the gags that occur in the first part devoted to the factory are perfect in the rhythms and in execution times (first of all the meal scene ' mechanized ').
Charlot is the latest ever, even when he makes a night watchman, and this brought him charges of Communism that had their consequences years later when, at the time of McCarthyism, was forced to leave the United States. This is also the last film in which appears the Tramp character. His move away from behind towards the future alongside Malhotra is a goodbye destined to remain forever in the memory.
