  • A Who’s Who of Silent Film Experts and Enthuisasts

    Not many talk about the early years of cinema beyond the handful of short one minute films featuring animals that appear on social media occasionally. Even classic film enthusiasts skip the early years, leaving the first decades of film on the cutting room floor for even such ambitious 100 Years of Cinema projects and retrospectives.

    Starting at the very beginning, The 5 Best Films of Every Year leaves no stone unturned, bringing on a slew of experts from the around the world to do so. From arc... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

1910 E3 - David Morton
Q: So what stands out to you about 1910, where the global film industry, I suppose, was, and I guess in the period in general, as we're starting a new decade here?
The U.S. is still not the lead film competitor, and we see beginnings of the feature convention, experimentation with narrative form, and a more dynamic and transnational film industry.
1905 E2 - Dan Willard
Q: What is notable about 'The Kleptomaniac'?
Charles Musser considers it one of Porter's most radical films condemning class bias in the justice system and it's one of the first American social dramas.
1905 E2 - Dan Willard
Q: What's significant about 'Rescued by Rover'?
It marks a key stage in the medium's development from an amusing novelty to the seventh art and possibly highlights the only point in film history where British cinema led the world.
1905 E2 - Dan Willard
Q: What stands out to you about 1905 this year in particular?
I would say 1905, 1903, those years. I think the company Pathé stands out as they were producing the most influential films during that time.
1900 E6 - Enri Ceballos
Q: Was this also the same group that produced the Cyrano de Bergerac sound film that was exhibited?
Yes, La Fono Cinema Theater was involved in early cinema innovations, promoting technology combining moving images with synchronized sound.
