The Calgary Cinematheque is excited to present this masterpiece of physical comedy with a live score by Icarus 3.
Hollywood in 2024 can be defined as a largely risk averse industry. In the upcoming Movies that Broke Hollywood series, Calgary Cinematheque will take audiences back to a time where that was not the case.
Our season runs year round, with screenings happening bi-weekly, in curated programs which situate each film in a thematic and historical context.
We do this because we believe cinema is an essential form of artistic, social, and political expression. Audiences should be able to engage with a wide range of cinematic expression, not only with what is commercially viable. We believe in the power of sharing these experiences with other people in a theatrical setting and we strive to cultivate a community around that experience.
