Charlie Chaplin Lived here (UK Premiere)

Milne, Louise; Martin, Sean

Abstract

UK Premiere of my feature documentary film, organised in association with the Bill Douglas Cinema Museum, University of Exeter.

A loving and affectionate tribute exploring Scottish filmmaker Bill Douglas and his lifelong obsession with Charlie Chaplin.

Blending archive footage, shot by Douglas in 1969 with present day interviews and excerpts from Chaplin’s autobiography, this experimental documentary takes the viewer on a journey between the past and the present and frames the childhood memories of Chaplin, which were heavily tied to places no longer present.

The documentary was preceded by a screening of the Charlie Chaplin classic Pay Day.
