Movie Matinees for All Ages

November 17, 2007 - December 1, 2007

Modern Times, November 17

Our ongoing Saturday series is a great way to introduce youngsters to the joys of the big screen—and to rediscover them yourself. This season we feature three Chaplin classics for viewers of all ages. Following each film, join us in the PFA Theater courtyard for Fenton’s ice cream, Peet’s coffee, and conversation with fellow moviegoers.

For additional Chaplin film programs, please see our Charles Chaplin film series.
