Abstract The soundless films of the first generation of world‘S cinematography, which left an indelible mark and survived to this day, precisely because it was an undisputed artistic value. The universal themes selected and handled by Artists of that time will find a special focus on my work, the playfulness of the act of that time, the possibilities of recording in the celluloid and the appearance of obstacles with the mechanical projectors. The discovery of that period, that is recording the tone, the difficulties, the problems and the main challenges in acting in front of the film camera, such an invention would certainly give another direction to the artistic film, contribute to its development but at the same time exhibited barricades of banal nature, in the simple sense would turn the role-play to the zero point, precisely in the moments of its advancement towards the extreme naturalness, would bump into the theater actors with those of the sketches or the noisless films that had already had taken the good hand in front of the film camera, while the theater actors who had the strong gun, the speech in front of the vibrant audience were already starting their career and fighting with the film they would meditate on just as they were.

  • Film Essay for "7Th Heaven"
    7th Heaven By Aubrey Solomon In the years between 1926 and 1928, Hollywood ex- perienced a maturation which blended art and indus- try to a new level of cinema. Influenced heavily by the experiments of foreign talents, largely German, new concepts of cinematography, lighting, set de- sign, and special effects known as “trick shots,” per- meated American film-making methods. The somber and sometimes morbid themes of German cinema also seeped into their films, often to the chagrin of American exhibitors who preferred their own exuber- ant optimism and happy endings. “7th Heaven” characterizes a perfect blend of opti- mistic romantic fantasy and German influenced pro- duction design. It also became one of the most pop- ular films of the late silent era. Its opening title card set the tone: “For those who will climb it, there is a ladder leading from the depths to the heights - from the sewer to the stars - the ladder of Courage.” Based on a hugely successful play by Austin Strong which ran at the Booth Theatre on Broadway from October 30, 1922, to May 21,1924 for a total of 685 performances, it portrayed the travails of young lov- An advertisement from a June 1927 edition of Motion ers who meet amidst the sordid gutters of pre-World Picture News.

  • Raoul Walsh to Attend Opening of Retrospective Tribute at Museum
    The Museum of Modern Art jl west 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 956-6100 Cable: Modernart NO. 34 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE RAOUL WALSH TO ATTEND OPENING OF RETROSPECTIVE TRIBUTE AT MUSEUM Raoul Walsh, 87-year-old film director whose career in motion pictures spanned more than five decades, will come to New York for the opening of a three-month retrospective of his films beginning Thursday, April 18, at The Museum of Modern Art. In a rare public appearance Mr. Walsh will attend the 8 pm screening of "Gentleman Jim," his 1942 film in which Errol Flynn portrays the boxing champion James J. Corbett. One of the giants of American filmdom, Walsh has worked in all genres — Westerns, gangster films, war pictures, adventure films, musicals — and with many of Hollywood's greatest stars — Victor McLaglen, Gloria Swanson, Douglas Fair­ banks, Mae West, James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart, Marlene Dietrich and Edward G. Robinson, to name just a few. It is ultimately as a director of action pictures that Walsh is best known and a growing body of critical opinion places him in the front rank with directors like Ford, Hawks, Curtiz and Wellman. Richard Schickel has called him "one of the best action directors...we've ever had" and British film critic Julian Fox has written: "Raoul Walsh, more than any other legendary figure from Hollywood's golden past, has truly lived up to the early cinema's reputation for 'action all the way'...." Walsh's penchant for action is not surprising considering he began his career more than 60 years ago as a stunt-rider in early "westerns" filmed in the New Jersey hills.

  • D.W. Griffith's INTOLERANCE (1916) a Colossal Saga of Hatred And
    D.W. Griffith’s INTOLERANCE (1916) A Colossal Saga of Hatred and Prejudice In 1915 David Wark Griffith directed and produced The Birth of a Nation, a visionary silent movie that used ground-breaking techniques, such as fades, close-ups and flashbacks. The public was enthralled by the grandeur, novelty and length of the over 3-hour long show. To this day, this film is studied at Film Academies worldwide. The Birth of a Nation also repelled some audiences - only ‘some’ in 1915 - with its portrayal of African Americans as depraved creatures who lusted after white young women, or as mentally underdeveloped beings. The film also pays tribute to the Ku Klux Klan that “ran to the rescue of the downtrodden South after the Civil War », as D.W. Griffith wrote in his autobiography. The idea was « to tell the truth » about the American Civil War. Although appreciated even today as an outstanding cinematic achievement, Birth of a Nation shocks due to its racist content. After its premiere in Los Angeles on February 8, 1915, the film stirred large protests among black communities across America, which started a movement aimed at banning this movie. To ban The Birth of a Nation for appearing in theatres, African-Americans had to go beyond showing that the film slandered them and utterly distorted history. The leaders of Boston's NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People) argued that the film was a threat to public safety, that it heightened racial tensions, and could incite violence. Despite all their efforts, the film was shown in Boston 360 times over a period of six-and-a-half months.

    Saving Film & Television for Future Generations UCLA FESTIVAL OF PRESERVATION UCLA Film & Television Archive’s signature biennial film festival screens Friday, February 15 - Sunday February 17, 2019 at the Billy Wilder Theater at the Hammer Museum in Westwood FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Los Angeles, CA (February 8, 2019)—The UCLA Film & Television Archive presents its biennial celebration of films preserved and restored by the world-renowned preservation department during its first-ever three-day UCLA Festival of Preservation, February 15-17, 2019. Each day the Festival will offer an eclectic survey of the Archive's latest restoration work, headlined by director Frank Borzage's WWII classic The Mortal Storm (1940) with James Stewart and Margaret Sullavan. The Festival will showcase rarely seen silent films, classic Hollywood, golden- age TV treasures, Laurel and Hardy, film noir thrillers, animation and much more. As in years past, the Festival will be a “deep dive into the seldom-explored sea that is American film history, alternating between extreme rarities seen nowhere else and new prints of beloved movie classics,” wrote Los Angeles Times film critic Kenneth Turan. “Previously [since 1988] spread out over an entire month, this year we decided to schedule the Festival of Preservation as a long weekend event,” says Jan-Christopher Horak, Ph.D., director of the UCLA Film & Television Archive. “We believe this will provide more of a festival environment and allow our film-loving audience to see a cornucopia of films over the long weekend. We begin the Festival Friday morning with a delightful 1930s Fox musical comedy, My Lips Betray (dir.

  • DW Griffith: Cinema's Great Pioneer
    DW Griffith: Cinema’s Great Pioneer Thursday 30 April 2015, London Throughout June BFI Southbank will host a month-long season dedicated to DW Griffith; described as the ‘Father of Film’ and the ‘Teacher of Us All’ by Lillian Gish and Charlie Chaplin respectively, Griffith was one of the greatest filmmakers of the silent-era. The season will re-examine his complex legacy, including his most famous film The Birth of a Nation (1915), a three-hour epic which was rightly accused of racism. Also screening in the season will be his first film as director The Adventures of Dollie (1908), the influential Intolerance (1916), his first talkie Abraham Lincoln (1930) and a three-part documentary from celebrated film historians Kevin Brownlow and David Gill, DW Griffith: Father of Film (USA-UK, 1993). As the ‘Father of Film’ Griffith pioneered film language which audiences now take for granted, from the use of close-ups for dramatic effect to parallel cutting (alternating two or more scenes that often happen simultaneously but in different locations). As the centenary of The Birth of a Nation (1915) is marked by a major international conference at University College London (UCL), the season will offer audiences a chance to re-evaluate Griffith’s most famous film with The Birth of a Nation at 100: A Roundtable Discussion. The roundtable will gather highly regarded keynote speakers from the UCL conference to present a contemporary assessment of this highly controversial and racist film a hundred years on. The season will also include a number of films starring Griffith’s favourite actress Lillian Gish.

  • Celebrating Forty Years of Films Worth Talking About
    2 NOV 18 6 DEC 18 1 | 2 NOV 18 - 6 DEC 18 88 LOTHIAN ROAD | FILMHOUSEcinema.COM CELEBRATING FORTY YEARS OF FILMS WORTH TALKING ABOUT Move over, Braveheart! Last month saw the culmination of our 40th anniversary celebrations here at Filmhouse, and it has been hugely interesting time (for me at any rate!) comparing the us of now with the us of then. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed spending time talking to Filmhouse’s first Artistic Director, Jim Hickey, and finding out in more detail than I knew what myriad ways the business of running Filmhouse has stayed the same and the as many ways it has not (one of these days I’ll write it all down and you can find out how interesting it is for yourselves!). UK film distribution itself has changed immeasurably – the dawn of the multiplex in the latter half of the 1980s saw to that. Back in 1978, Filmhouse itself was part of a sort of movement that saw the birth of a number of similar venues around the UK whose aim was to show a kind of cinema (predominantly foreign language) that simply was not catered for within mainstream film exhibition. Despite 40 years having passed and much having changed, the notion of an audience-driven, ‘curated’ cinema like Filmhouse remains something of a film exhibition anomaly; and something Jim Hickey wrote 30+ years ago rings just as true today as it did then: “But best of all, the new cinemas are being run by those who care about audiences as well as the films that they have paid to watch.” Now, we’ve got a bit of a first for you in November, for we have metaphorically got into bed with Netflix to give one of their films a hugely deserved, exclusive, short run in a cinema – namely David Mackenzie’s splendidly entertaining Robert the Bruce epic, Outlaw King.
