The Circus is perhaps Chaplin's loveliest and most effortless feature. Its modest story involves the Tramp joining a circus, falling in love with bareback rider Merna Kennedy, and learning when to step aside, with lots of genuinely dangerous stunts and animal encounters along the way.

Queer Longings: Narratives of Desire film screenings
2016-11-29 18:00 - 19:34 | Hoyt Auditorium, University of Rochester Campus, Rochester, New York, United States
UofR's On Film will screen The Royal Road (Jenni Olson, 2015, 65 min., shot in 16mm, projected in DCP), and Hard as Opal (Dani Leventhal and Jared Buckhiester, 2015, 29 min., HD video) for their Queer Longings: Narratives of Desire program.
The series is concerned with the (im)possibilities of articulating queer desire. Elements of autobiography, historical narratives, and an exploration of space and time all contribute to a tension between fact and fantasy, poetically blurring the lines of documentary and fiction. Although very different, together the two films present a compelling program that reflects on nostalgia, intimacy, and loneliness. Professor Jennifer Creech and a few On Film members will be available for a discussion and a Q&A after the screening.

Based on a stage play written in 1910 by Daisy Andrews and John Colton, the story follows Cassie Cook (Priscilla Dean), an American heavily involved in the Chinese opium trade who is engaged in an uneasy alliance with her rival, Jules Repin (Wallace Beery). Never a lost film, but long unavailable, Drifting has been reconstructed by the Moving Image Department at the George Eastman Museum thanks to the cooperation of Manda (Hungarian National Digital Archive and Film Institute), Gosfilmofond of Russia, and the National Film Preservation Foundation.
