PLUS a performance by MILD BILL, aka King Kukulele

From out of the snowdrift comes a Lone Prospector teetering on the edge of the Klondike region of the Yukon, amid the 1890s gold rush. He meets a beautiful woman in a bar and finds refuge from the cold inside an Arctic hut, not unlike The Nova Tuskhut, inhabited by a lone man. 

The Gold Rush. 1925. USA. Directed by Charlie Chaplin. Starring Charlie Chaplin, Tom Murray, Georgia Hale and Mack Swain. Silent with Intertitles in English. Black and White. Digital Projection. 1 hour 35 minutes.

This screening takes place while guests have their visit with The Man in the Tuskhut, a sold-out solitary encounter with cutting edge technology in the Velaslavasay Panorama’s famed exhibit, The Nova Tuskhut, and is supported in part by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and the Velaslavasay Panorama Enthusiast Society.
