About the event
is Charles Lane's brilliantly inventive homage to Charlie Chaplin’s the silent-film classic which turns 100 years old this year, and the modern human experiences of homelessness on the streets of New York. Awarded the Guggenheim Special Prize as “The Best Source of Inspiration for Children,” this restoration is a timely rediscovery of a significant work from 1980s New African-American cinema. Starring the director as a homeless artist scraping by in New York City, a modern-day little tramp who gets whisked up into a comic and heartrending adventure when he winds up caring for an orphaned toddler. Shot on the the streets of 1980s Greenwich Village, this DIY gem is both witty and tender while accurately capturing the daily life of the homeless population of New York with a cinéma vérité approach that undoubtedly reminds of Lionel Rogosin’s .
