One Hundred Years Ago is the programme that Cinema Ritrovato dedicates every year to films released exactly one century ago. This year’s Schermi e Lavagne offers our young cinephile audience a selection from the programme curated by Mariann Lewinsky and Karl Wratschko. 1921 was a particularly happy year for comedy and experimental animation. Elsewhere we have already mentioned Chaplin’s The Kid; here we would like to pay homage to two giants of comedy, Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, who appeared together for the first time in The Lucky Dog in 1921. Also in 1921, the brilliant pioneer of comics and animation cinema Winsor McCay made several shorts based on The Rarebit Fiend, a comic strip he created for the “Evening Telegram” whose protagonists each time find themselves in ridiculous or paradoxical situations before waking up and realising that it was all a dream. The programme is completed by two precious rarities of ‘drawn cinema’.
