City of Toronto All Events http://ift.tt/1Cclitt From NYC, film historian Ben Model, will present "Undercranking: The Magic Behind the Slapstick" In this hour long original, fascinating lecture/presentation, Model explains how & why comedians like Chaplin, Keaton & others utilized the speed-up of silent film through "undercranking" to create gags & character that could only exist in that universe. Film: Safety Last! (1923) No one epitomized the get up and go attitude of the Roaring Twenties more than Harold Lloyd. Looking like the boy next door, his series of highly inventive and successful comedies often fused thrills with laughter. High above the city street, Harold will hold on for dear life and the audiences will be on the edge of their seats! Accompanist: Ben Model
