Charlie Chaplin Cell Phone Time Traveler by George Clarke….Real Or Fake?

The subject of time traveling generally only comes up when you’re watching a movie, or reading a science fiction novel.

A European film maker by the name of George Clarke, claims to have found evidence of a real life time traveler in a 1928 film featuring Charlie Chaplin.

Read what George has to say about the discovery below, then check out the clip.

“This short film is about a piece of footage I (George Clarke) found behind the scenes in Charlie Chaplins film ‘The Circus’. Attending the premiere at Manns Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, CA – the scene shows a large woman dressed in black with a hat hiding most of her face, with what can only be described as a mobile phone device – talking as she walks alone.

I have studied this film for over a year now – showing it to over 100 people and at a film festival, yet no-one can give any explanation as to what she is doing.

My only theory – as well as many others – is simple… a time traveler on a mobile phone. See for yourself and feel free to leave a comment on your own explanation or thoughts about it.”

UP THERE – A documentary about sign painting.

I work on oversize pieces, regularly, with both design and art projects. Lately I’ve been doing exceptionally large wallpaper and glass treatments (thousands of square feet of custom work). If I’ve learned anything, other than i get stressed out waiting to see the final product, is that it takes a special cat to really wrap his/her head around such huge scale while working in a confined space or screen view.

Vinyl printing has been a god send, for me, from a commercial perspective and I couldn’t be doing the wallpaper projects I love so much, without it. But my art takes a lot from sign painters — embraces their techniques and I have a lot of admiration for this dying craft.

check out the ritual project for more info on this doc and others.
