  • Films of Hedy Lamarr
    During the 1930s and 1940s, Hollywood was truly the great dream factory. From the sound stages and produc-tion lots of its Studios, the directors, movie Stars, and technicians who labored on this gigantic production line sent forth a series of packaged dreams that seemed end-less. In those years of Depression and war, they were products we needed badly. And on this talented production line, not one of those packagers of dreams was more beautiful or ex- citing than Hedy Lamarr. Hers was the beauty and excitement that once made a Paris audience gasp „Ec- stasy!“ and so named her most famous movie. But after a galaxy of headaches and heartaches caused by six ill-starred marriages, the loss of a for- tune, and a well-publicized arrest on a shoplifting charge, Hedy Lamarr still believes that her beauty brought on most of her troubles. „Everywhere I find men who pay homage to my beauty and show no interest in me,“ she complained once. One foolish young man even killed himself when she refused to marry him, and her first husband was so jealous of her that he locked her up in his palace. When she arrived in the United States, Ed Sullivan wrote in his column that she was the most beautiful Out of a Dream“ to her. It seems an apt description of woman of the Century. Few could dispute that asser- the Viennese beauty who graced thirty European and tion.

  • The 15Th British Silent Film Festival
    www.britishsilents.co.uk KIPPS: THE STORY OF A SIMPLE SOUL 1.30pm Sun 22 April British Silents, the BFI and Cambridge Arts Picturehouse present The 15th British Silent Film Festival 19-22 April 2012 The 15th British WELCOME Silent Film Festival British Silents, the BFI and Cambridge Arts Picturehouse welcome you to the 15th Annual British Silent Film Festival. The year that has seen The Artist sweep the board at the BAFTAs and Oscars is the perfect moment to celebrate silent film. In our most ambitious and packed programme to date, we are bringing you the best of the British silent films held in the BFI National Archive along with must-see titles from collections around the UK and abroad. Highlights include Jacques Feyder’s stunning Visages d’Enfants, a unique programme of unseen British short films held at the EYE Film institute, Amsterdam and the fabulous Dodge Brothers playing their unique brand of Americana to Soviet prison drama, The Ghost That Never Returns. To celebrate 15 years of the British Silent Film Festival we have selected some favourite films from past events including: A Couple of Down and Outs, a moving precursor to War Horse, Hepworth’s wonderfully pictorial Mist in the Valley and Henry Edwards’ charming Owd Bob. A touch of horror is supplied by Fred Paul’s Grand Guignol films and witty satire by Ivor Montagu and chums. There are also plenty of new discoveries with a literary twist, including the silent adaptations of P.G Wodehouse’s golfing tales and W.W. Jacobs’ lyrical portraits of coastal life.

  • THE GREAT WAR: a CINEMATIC LEGACY OPENS at Moma on the CENTENARY of the START of WORLD WAR I
    THE GREAT WAR: A CINEMATIC LEGACY OPENS AT MoMA ON THE CENTENARY OF THE START OF WORLD WAR I The Great War: A Cinematic Legacy August 4—September 21, 2014 The Roy and Niuta Titus Theaters NEW YORK, July 8, 2014–Opening on the 100th anniversary of the day World War I began, The Museum of Modern Art’s The Great War: A Cinematic Legacy runs from August 4 through September 21, 2014, highlighting 60 feature-length films and thematic programs that attempt to provide a comprehensive view of the war as portrayed in film. The various films focus on prewar activities; espionage; the battlefields in the trenches, in the air, and on and beneath the sea; actualités; and the various homefronts before, during, and after the war. Familiar films, such as A Farewell to Arms (1932) and Lawrence of Arabia (1962), along with several lesser-known works from as far away as New Zealand—including Chunuk Bair (1992)—reflect the universality of a war that reshaped the prevailing values of what passed for civilization. In August, the program is predominately drawn from the early years, either during the war or in the succeeding decades, and includes several silent films. The program in September will concentrate mainly on later, more contemporary films up to, and including, Steven Spielberg’s War Horse (2011). The Great War is organized by Charles Silver, Curator, with Dave Kehr, Adjunct Curator, Department of Film, The Museum of Modern Art. Many of the films in the series deal with the entrenched stalemate in France, including Verdun, Vision d’Histoire (Verdun, Vision of History) (1928) directed by Leon Poirier.

  • Notes and References
    Notes and References CHAPTER 1 To provide an intellectual and cultural framework for examining Carol Reed's films, a history of the British cinema from its origins through to the Second World War is offered in this chapter. Although Reed began directing in 1935, 1939 seemed a tidier, more logical cut-off point for the survey. All the information in the chapter is synthesized from several excellent works on the subject: Roy Armes's A Critical History of the British Cinema, Ernest Betts' The Film Business, Ivan Butler's Cinema in Britain, Denis Gifford's British Film Catalogue, Rachel Low's History of the British Film, and George Perry's The Great British Picture Show.
