In tribute to legendary film composer Carl Davis, Bar Short’s will screen three silent Charlie Chaplin Mutual Films with scores composed by Carl. These shorts are rarely seen in the cinema and chart the trajectory of the young Chaplin as he made his way from the new kid on the block to iconic film star. These films were programmed for Bar Shorts by Carl just before his passing.
The programme will be followed by a Q&A with Carl Davis’s daughter Jessie Davis hosted by Chris Shepherd. The afternoon is curated by Chris and Dog&Rabbit Animation Studio.

Behind the Screen (1916) 25 Minutes
