SFSFF 2016 Program Book elcome to the San Francisco Silent Film Festival for four days and nights of enchantment in the dark! For Wtwenty-one years the festival has proudly brought beautiful images to the screen accompanied by True art transcends time. live, glorious music. A nonprofit organization, the festival is dedicated to educating the public about silent-era cinema as an art form and as a valuable historical and cultural record. Throughout the year, SFSFF produces events that showcase important titles from the silent era, often in restored or pre- served prints, with live musical performances by some of the world’s finest practitioners of silent film accompaniment. Each presentation exemplifies the extraordinary quality that Academy Award-winning film historian Kevin Brownlow calls “live cinema.” Silent-era filmmakers produced masterpieces that can seem breathtakingly modern. In a remarkably short time after the birth of movies, filmmakers developed the techniques that made cinema its own art form. The only technique that eluded them was the ability to marry sound to the film print. Yet these films were never meant to be viewed in silence and music was often a part of the pro- duction as well as the exhibition. The absence of recording on the set meant that the camera was free to move with a grace and an intricacy that allowed visual storytelling to flourish and made motion pictures more than merely filmed theater. It is through these films that the world first came to love movies, as entertainment and art. They have influenced each subsequent generation of filmmakers and continue to astonish audiences a century after they were made. silentfilm.org 1 2:30 PM SHOOTING STARS THURSDAY JUNE 2 Musical accompaniment by Stephen Horne 2016 SFSFF Award presentation to David Robinson 7:00 PM BEGGARS OF LIFE Bryony Dixon will join David Robinson in conversation Musical accompaniment by the Mont Alto Motion Picture Orchestra Underwritten by McRoskey Mattress Company and by Friends of the Silent Film Festival 5:15 PM WITHIN OUR GATES Introduction by Robert Byrne Musical accompaniment by Oakland Symphony and Chorus members, conducted by Michael Morgan Introduction by Michael Morgan FRIDAY JUNE 3 7:30 PM THE ITALIAN STRAW HAT 10:00 AM AMAZING TALES FROM Musical accompaniment by the Guenter Buchwald Ensemble SFSFF2016 THE ARCHIVES Introduction by Guenter Buchwald Presenters: Bryony Dixon, Peter Schade, Emily Wensel, Georges Mourier CONTENTS Musical accompaniment by Stephen Horne 10:00 PM THE LAST WARNING Musical accompaniment by Donald Sosin and Frank Bockius Underwritten by Universal Pictures 1:00 PM A WOMAN OF THE WORLD Musical accompaniment by Donald Sosin Introduction by Cari Beauchamp The Balloonatic SUNDAY JUNE 5 3:00 PM THAT NIGHT’S WIFE FILM ESSAYS FEATURES 10:00 AM FANTASIA OF COLOR IN Musical accompaniment by Maud Nelissen 6 Beggars of Life 10 Riding the Rails EARLY CINEMA Musical accompaniment by Donald Sosin 14 Amazing Tales from the Archives 12 The State of Preservation 4:30 PM MOTHERS OF MEN Introduction by Robert Byrne Musical accompaniment by the Mont Alto Motion Picture Orchestra 16 A Woman of the World 28 Dorothy Davenport’s Message Movies Introduction by Shelley Stamp 20 That Night’s Wife 34 The Divine Decadence of Lya de Putti 12:00 NOON GIRLS WILL BE BOYS 7:15 PM VARIETÉ Musical accompaniment by Maud Nelissen and Frank Bockius 24 Mothers of Men 40 Irvin Willat’s Bungalow Musical accompaniment by the Berklee Silent Film Orchestra Introduction by Laura Horak Underwritten by Adam S.

Last year BSFO dazzled audiences with its score for The Last Laugh and returns to the festival this year for another Weimar-era classic, Varieté. The 2016 class composers are Mateo Rodo, Larry Hong, Austin Matthews, HyunJu Yun, Kanako Hashiyama, and Nathan Drube. A versatile jazz percussionist, FRANK BOCKIUS has performed for dance and theater companies as well as in his own bands, including the jazz quintet Whisper Hot and the percussion ensemble Timpanicks. He began playing with Guenter Buchwald more than twenty years ago and has since performed for silent films at festivals in Kyoto, Pordenone, and Sodankylä, Finland. This year he performs with Guenter Buchwald, Stephen Horne, Maud Nelissen, and Donald Sosin. Conductor, composer, pianist, and violinist GUENTER BUCHWALD is a pioneer of the renaissance in silent film music with a rich repertoire of more than three thousand titles. Acclaimed as a virtuoso improviser, he has appeared at film festivals from Berlin to Tokyo and is the founding member of the thirty- year-old Silent Movie Music Company. This year, Buchwald has adapted Raymond Alessandrini’s 1989 score for the newly restored The Italian Straw Hat to be performed live by the Guenter Buchwald Ensemble. Based at London’s BFI Southbank, STEPHEN HORNE is considered one of the leading silent film accompanists working today and his music has met with acclaim at worldwide festivals. Principally a pianist, he often incorporates other instruments into his performances, sometimes playing them simultaneously. This year, his original score for Fritz Lang’s Destiny will be performed by the Stephen Horne Ensemble, which includes Guenter Buchwald, Frank Bockius, and Brian Collins of the Mont Alto Motion Picture Orchestra. Led by the Swedish Film Institute’s resident silent-movie pianist and award-winning film composer Matti Bye, the MATTI BYE ENSEMBLE is constantly seeking that magical, emotional alchemy between the music and the images. Ensemble members Bye, Kristian Holmgren, Henrik Olsson, and Leo Svensson play a wide variety of instruments that includes piano, glockenspiel, violin, musical saw, and other percussion. JON MIRSALIS has been creating silent film scores for more than forty years, recording them for DVD release and performing live at George Eastman Museum, the Library of Congress, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and the Pacific Film Archive, among other venues. His discovery of long- lost footage for Laurel and Hardy’s Battle of the Century was crucial to its restoration and he will accompany the film on piano at the festival screening. A chamber ensemble that revives the tradition of silent-film orchestras, MONT ALTO MOTION PICTURE ORCHESTRA culls historic libraries of music for its live musical accompaniment. Together, Rodney Sauer, Britt Swenson, David Short, Brian Collins, and Dawn Kramer have recorded and toured widely, creating vibrant, emotional, and historically appropriate musical scores for more than 120 films. This year, the orchestra accompanies the opening night filmBeggars of Life and Mothers of Men as well as Les Deux Timides, with firecracker sounds provided by Molly Sauer. Music director and conductor of the Oakland Symphony, MICHAEL MORGAN serves as artistic director of the Oakland Symphony Youth Orchestra and music director at the Bear Valley Music Festival and has won awards for his compositions. Making his first appearance at the festival, he conducts the San Fran- cisco premiere performance of Adolphus Hailstork’s original score for Within Our Gates, played by Oakland Symphony string musicians and sung by members of the Oakland Symphony Chorus. An interview with composer Adolphus Hailstork can be found on page 60. Dutch composer and pianist MAUD NELISSEN has earned international acclaim performing live and recording both solo and with her ensemble, The Sprockets. She made her American debut in 2008 at the Telluride Film Festival and, in 2011, she performed at the Turner Classic Movies Film Festival in Los Angeles. She makes her San Francisco Silent Film Festival debut this year, playing for the Girls Will Be Boys program and for Yasujiro Ozu’s That Night’s Wife. Pianist DONALD SOSIN has been creating and performing silent film music for forty-five years, playing at New York’s Museum of Modern Art and at major film festivals around the world.

  • The Dublin Gate Theatre Archive, 1928 - 1979
    Charles Deering McCormick Library of Special Collections Northwestern University Libraries Dublin Gate Theatre Archive The Dublin Gate Theatre Archive, 1928 - 1979 History: The Dublin Gate Theatre was founded by Hilton Edwards (1903-1982) and Micheál MacLiammóir (1899-1978), two Englishmen who had met touring in Ireland with Anew McMaster's acting company. Edwards was a singer and established Shakespearian actor, and MacLiammóir, actually born Alfred Michael Willmore, had been a noted child actor, then a graphic artist, student of Gaelic, and enthusiast of Celtic culture. Taking their company’s name from Peter Godfrey’s Gate Theatre Studio in London, the young actors' goal was to produce and re-interpret world drama in Dublin, classic and contemporary, providing a new kind of theatre in addition to the established Abbey and its purely Irish plays. Beginning in 1928 in the Peacock Theatre for two seasons, and then in the theatre of the eighteenth century Rotunda Buildings, the two founders, with Edwards as actor, producer and lighting expert, and MacLiammóir as star, costume and scenery designer, along with their supporting board of directors, gave Dublin, and other cities when touring, a long and eclectic list of plays. The Dublin Gate Theatre produced, with their imaginative and innovative style, over 400 different works from Sophocles, Shakespeare, Congreve, Chekhov, Ibsen, O’Neill, Wilde, Shaw, Yeats and many others. They also introduced plays from younger Irish playwrights such as Denis Johnston, Mary Manning, Maura Laverty, Brian Friel, Fr. Desmond Forristal and Micheál MacLiammóir himself. Until his death early in 1978, the year of the Gate’s 50th Anniversary, MacLiammóir wrote, as well as acted and designed for the Gate, plays, revues and three one-man shows, and translated and adapted those of other authors.

  • 1,000 Films to See Before You Die Published in the Guardian, June 2007
    1,000 Films to See Before You Die Published in The Guardian, June 2007 http://film.guardian.co.uk/1000films/0,,2108487,00.html Ace in the Hole (Billy Wilder, 1951) Prescient satire on news manipulation, with Kirk Douglas as a washed-up hack making the most of a story that falls into his lap. One of Wilder's nastiest, most cynical efforts, who can say he wasn't actually soft-pedalling? He certainly thought it was the best film he'd ever made. Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (Tom Shadyac, 1994) A goofy detective turns town upside-down in search of a missing dolphin - any old plot would have done for oven-ready megastar Jim Carrey. A ski-jump hairdo, a zillion impersonations, making his bum "talk" - Ace Ventura showcases Jim Carrey's near-rapturous gifts for physical comedy long before he became encumbered by notions of serious acting. An Actor's Revenge (Kon Ichikawa, 1963) Prolific Japanese director Ichikawa scored a bulls-eye with this beautifully stylized potboiler that took its cues from traditional Kabuki theatre. It's all ballasted by a terrific double performance from Kazuo Hasegawa both as the female-impersonator who has sworn vengeance for the death of his parents, and the raucous thief who helps him. The Addiction (Abel Ferrara, 1995) Ferrara's comic-horror vision of modern urban vampires is an underrated masterpiece, full- throatedly bizarre and offensive. The vampire takes blood from the innocent mortal and creates another vampire, condemned to an eternity of addiction and despair. Ferrara's mob movie The Funeral, released at the same time, had a similar vision of violence and humiliation.

  • Leisen, Mitchell (1898-1972) by Craig Kaczorowski
    Leisen, Mitchell (1898-1972) by Craig Kaczorowski Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2010 glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Mitchell Leisen was a noted director during Hollywood's Golden Age. He is credited with more than 40 feature films, which are celebrated for their stylishness and visual elegance. He excelled at witty, romantic comedies that are often tinged with a touch of melancholy, such as the classic "screwball" comedy Easy Living (1937) and the clever, cosmopolitan farce Midnight (1939). Leisen has also been hailed for his "gender role-reversal" films, where the male lead is cast as the sex object and the female lead as the aggressor. Not surprising for a bisexual director working in Hollywood, Leisen's other thematic obsessions included mistaken identity, role-playing, and deception. Leisen returned to the same performers film after film, developing strong working partnerships. Although he was instrumental in shaping the careers of such actors as Fred MacMurray and Ray Milland, Leisen became typed as a "woman's director" for the fastidious, detailed attention he paid to the costuming and art direction of his productions, as well as for the nuanced, spontaneous performances he coaxed from such actresses as Carole Lombard, Claudette Colbert, and Olivia de Havilland. Among many film historians, Leisen's artistic reputation has been tarnished somewhat by the stormy relationships he became embroiled in with some of his screenwriters, most notably Preston Sturges and Billy Wilder. After working on several films with Leisen, both writers demanded to be allowed to direct their own scripts, in part because they objected to the sophisticated veneer of Leisen's directorial style and to the changes he frequently made to their screenplays.

  • Dragnet Girl
    Saturday 15 March | 19:30 Dragnet Girl (Hijôsen No Onna) Dir. Yasujiro Ozu | Japan | 1933 | b/w | 1h 36m Accompanied live by Jane Gardner, Hazel Morrison and Roddy Long Screening supported by Film Hub Scotland, part of BFI’s Film Audience Network Yasujiro Ozu's silent films reveal not just his early mastery of the medium but also the popular basis of his art. One of the greatest of Ozu’s silent films, Dragnet Girl (1933) is a vigorous and stylish work that feels almost casual yet heartfelt. Ozu spins his little story (concocted by himself) of crime, love and redemption with skill while staying close to the concerns of the mass audience of early-1930s Japan, hungry for up-to-date thrills but ambivalent about the changes modernity had brought to the society. For a 21st-century audience that knows Ozu mainly for his later masterworks such as Late Spring (1949), Early Summer (1951) and Tokyo Story (1953), the subject matter of Dragnet Girl may come as a shock. No doubt this melodrama of the criminal underworld appears aberrant in the career of a filmmaker renowned for his elegiac films about middle-class families. The late Donald Richie, a pioneer in Western appreciation of Japanese cinema, mentions Dragnet Girl only fleetingly in his book on Ozu. Even the director himself wrote in his diary that he felt ill at ease working on the film. Ozu has been famously called “the most Japanese of directors,” but Dragnet Girl takes place in a universe that denies Japanese-ness. At the office where the heroine, Tokiko (Kinuyo Tanaka), works during the day, typists use Remington typewriters; at the boxing gym where Tokiko’s boyfriend, Joji (Joji Oka), hangs out and in the apartment the couple share, the walls are covered with posters for American boxing matches and Hollywood films (The Champ and All Quiet on the Western Front); the dance club where Tokiko and Joji spend their nights is conspicuously Western-style.

    “We’ll embrace one another and go on, all right?” Everyday life in Ozu Yasujirô’s post-war films 1947-1949. University of Turku Faculty of Humanities Cultural History Master’s thesis Topi E. Timonen 17.5.2019 The originality of this thesis has been checked in accordance with the University of Turku quality assurance system using the Turnitin OriginalityCheck service. UNIVERSITY OF TURKU School of History, Culture and Arts Studies Faculty of Humanities TIMONEN, TOPI E.: “We’ll embrace one another and go on, all right?” Everyday life in Ozu Yasujirô’s post-war films 1947-1949. Master’s thesis, 84 pages. Appendix, 2 pages. Cultural history May 2019 Summary The subject of my master’s thesis is the depiction of everyday life in the post-war films of Japanese filmmaker Ozu Yasujirô (1903-1963). My primary sources are his three first post- war films: Record of a Tenement Gentleman (Nagaya shinshiroku, 1947), A Hen in the Wind (Kaze no naka no mendori, 1948) and Late Spring (Banshun, 1949). Ozu’s aim in his filmmaking was to depict the Japanese people, their society and their lives in a realistic fashion. My thesis offers a close reading of these films that focuses on the themes that are central in their everyday depiction. These themes include gender roles, poverty, children, nostalgia for the pre-war years, marital equality and the concept of arranged marriage, parenthood, and cultural juxtaposition between Japanese and American influences. The films were made under American censorship and I reflect upon this context while examining the presentation of the themes.
