Director's bio
Charlie Chaplin
Born in London, Chaplin began performing on stage as a child before moving to the United States in 1913, where he joined Keystone Studios. His silent film persona, The Tramp, with bowler hat, cane, and distinctive walk, made him a global star. Chaplin’s filmography spans over 80 works, including classics such as The Kid (1921), The Gold Rush (1925), City Lights (1931), Modern Times (1936), and The Great Dictator (1940), where he boldly satirized Adolf Hitler. Later works like Limelight (1952) and A King in New York (1957) showcased his enduring artistry. Beyond acting, Chaplin wrote, directed, produced, and composed music for many of his films, blending comedy with social commentary. His career was marked by both immense acclaim and controversy, including political disputes that led to his exile from the U.S. in the 1950s. Honored with an Academy Award for lifetime achievement in 1972, Chaplin remains a towering figure whose blend of humor, pathos, and humanism continues to inspire filmmakers worldwide
Synopsis
A calm and content Little Tramp seeks his fortune in the hidden gold mines of the Klondike. All calm is quickly lost, however, when another prospector, just as famished as he is, begins mistaking him for a giant chicken.
