6:30 p.m. — 3.5 stars"49 Up": British filmmaker Michael Apted's fascinating every-seven-years project continues, in which he documents a group of now 49-year-olds first visited in 1964 in "Seven Up." Now firmly rooted in middle age, many are now grandparents (one speaks, movingly, of his relationship with his grandchildren as "an obsession of love"), and most seem to find the experience of gazing at their childhood selves unnerving. The wife of Nick (the physicist) sums it up nicely: "There are a lot of emotions attached to having a scrapbook as vivid as this." Twelve of the original 14 subjects are here. 145 minutes. (Moira Macdonald) (very few tickets left).

9:30 p.m. — "VishwaThulasi"

7 p.m. — "The Gold Rush": Charles Chaplin plays a Klondike prospector who faces starvation (he cooks his shoe and the laces become spaghetti), roommate troubles (his hungry cabin mate imagines he's a chicken) and rejection from a dance-hall girl who appears to forget him. It's hard to pick a "best" among Chaplin's comedies. Surely this precisely timed 1925 mixture of sight gags and pathos, with its magical "dance of the breadrolls" sequence and poignant New Year's Eve episode, is very near the top. The festival is screening a 35mm print. 72 minutes. (John Hartl).
