The OSM presents two monumental figures of the silent film: Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton. Enjoy their timeless humour in Behind the Screen (1916) and The Blacksmith (1922), both slapstick comedies in which the protagonists display a series of blunders and right moves. For this highly unique evening, screenings will be enhanced with live accompaniment by three seasoned improvisers: clarinetist André Moisan, percussionist Michel Berthiaume and organist Jean-Willy Kunz. There’s no telling what this cinematic concert has in store for us!
