The Toronto Silent Film Festival, running from April 3-8, and Cossette have teamed up again with a campaign that meshes something old (silent films) with present-day technology (Instagram). Last year, the agency created Instagram silent film trailers. This year, to celebrate Charlie Chaplin's Centenary, the Instagram time machine was created: a series of linked images on the festival's Instagram account (@TSFF2014) that turned the typical Thumbnail Mode into a flowing, interactive timeline of Chaplin’s life in movies, using video clips and fun biographical facts. For example, Feb. 2 marked the 100-year anniversary of when Chaplin first appeared in film. Check out a video of the timeline in motion, here.
