Experience this year's most energetic 100-year-old, The Gold Rush, at Nidarosdomen, while organist Ulrich Walther improvises on the cathedral's majestic Steinmeyer organ!

About the Film:

Three days from anywhere. A Lone Prospector.

A hundred years after its first release, Charlie Chaplin’s The Gold Rush is still one of his most critically acclaimed and beloved films. Chaplin plays “The Lone Prospector” (translated to Norwegian as "Den lille landstrykeren"), who must overcome numerous challenges—and people—to achieve his dream of wealth and prosperity in the American wilderness. The film featured impressive practical effects for its time, and when it was re-released in 1943 with a voiceover and music, it was nominated for two Oscars that same year. The humor, along with the recognizable tension, ensures that The Gold Rush remains one of Chaplin’s most cherished works.

The film is suitable for all ages.
