Silents in the Library
March 15, 2018 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
SHHHHHH, it’s the Library… Beginning January 18, 2018 and continuing every Third Thursday, the Oceanside Public Library will be screening Silent Classic Films in the Foundation Room at the Civic Center Library. Open to all ages.
On January 18 at 6:00 p.m., laugh along to the slapstick comedy of Charlie Chaplin in a series of short films. The library will screen the Charlie Chaplin 1915 classic, The Tramp, and the 1916 films The Vagabond and The Pawnshop. These shorts are exemplary of Chaplin’s classic slapstick comedy and unlucky in love characters, and serve as a great introduction to the Silent Film genre.
On February 15, celebrate the fact that you made it through Valentine’s Day with a screening of the 1922 German Expressionist horror film, Nosferatu, directed by F. W. Murnau. The original vampire film, this unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stokers Dracula was intended to be destroyed soon after release. Some copies of the film survived, and the film went on to be regarded as a masterpiece of cinema.
The Library will be continuing this Silent Film Thursday at the Library on the third Thursday of every month through June. Stay tuned for more titles and themes!
