SFSFF 2018 Program Book
elcome to the San Francisco Silent Film Festival for five days and nights of live cinema! This is SFSFFʼs twenty-third year of sharing revered silent-era Wmasterpieces and newly revived discoveries as they were meant to be experienced—with live musical accompaniment. We’ve even added a day, so there’s more to enjoy of the silent-era’s treasures, including features from nine countries and inventive experiments from cinema’s early days and the height of the avant-garde. A nonprofit organization, SFSFF is committed to educating the public about silent-era cinema as a valuable historical and cultural record as well as an art form with enduring relevance. In a remarkably short time after the birth of moving pictures, filmmakers developed all the techniques that make cinema the powerful medium it is today— everything except for the ability to marry sound to the film print. Yet these films can be breathtakingly modern. They have influenced every subsequent generation of filmmakers and they continue to astonish and delight audiences a century after they were made. SFSFF also carries on silent cinemaʼs live music tradition, screening these films with accompaniment by the worldʼs foremost practitioners of putting live sound to the picture. Showcasing silent-era titles, often in restored or preserved prints, SFSFF has long supported film preservation through the Silent Film Festival Preservation Fund. In addition, over time, we have expanded our participation in major film restoration projects, premiering four features and some newly discovered documentary footage at this event alone. This year coincides with a milestone birthday of film scholar extraordinaire Kevin Brownlow, whom we celebrate with an onstage appearance on June 2. -
REX INGRAM - Moviemaker
REX INGRAM - Moviemaker A f Liam O’Laoghaire Mange er de filminstruktører, som nød stor afvej ende intelligens, og han var modig nok berømmelse i stumfilmens dage, og som i dag til at angribe den industri, inden for hvis enten er glemt eller kun husket for en enkelt rammer han fandt det umuligt at instruere af deres film. Tænk blot på Cruze („The netop de film, som lå ham på sinde. Dette for Covered Wagon“), Robertson („Dr. Jekyll klarer, at han ganske pludselig tog afsked med and Mr. Hyde“) og Ingram („The Four Horse- filmen i 1932, da han var kun 39 år gammel. men of the Apocalypse“). Det forekommer no Han var stolt og selvrådig og nægtede at ind get uretfærdigt og alt for nemt at skulle ac gå kompromis’er med det bureaukratiske sy- ceptere denne vilkårlige måde at klassificere på, og det er på tide, at man nøjere efter forsker de instruktører, som gav filmkunsten Rex Ingram i Nice 1927. dens stil og traditioner. Ingram var en af de mest farverige skikkel ser i tyvernes Hollywood; takket være sin me get individualistisk prægede og ansvarsbevid ste holdning over for filmen angav han mere krævende retningslinier, hvad der både blev bemærket af kritikken og af publikum. Men i disse neorealismens og den overforfinede klip nings tider er det tydeligt nok forbundet med besvær at bygge bro over afgrunden mellem hans tid og vor. Ingram var på mange måder typisk for tyverne. Han kom ikke med noget budskab. Hans film tyngedes ofte af litterært arvegods. Han var frem for alt romantiker, frydede sig over det makabre og det eksotiske, over de smukke helte og de forførende helt inder. -

Excerpted from Abdelmajid Hajji, Arabs in American Cinema (1894–1930): Flappers Meet Sheiks in New Movie Genre (Abdelmajid Hajji, 2013). CHAPTER FIVE THE NORTH-AFRICAN FILM EXPERIENCE OF REX INGRAM: HOLLYWOOD’S “LAWRENCE OF ARABIA” A foremost aim of this book is the establishment and elaboration of the characteristics and confines of the Oriental genre along clear generic guidelines. It has being largely accepted that film directors are less visible in genre films since the genre’s iconography and formalized structure smother individual directorial expressions. Yet, a genre approach ought to not completely disregard the contribution of a director to a genre film, particularly if his/her input significantly rearranges the pre- established generic elements of the film. Depending on each specific film, directorial influence on the Oriental genre may range from significant to no more than a slight twist on a jaded plot line meant to keep audiences interest. However, with regard to director Rex Ingram, it is safe to say that his directorial contribution to the Oriental genre was both extraordinary and far-reaching. Rex Ingram by no means started the Oriental genre, nor did he make the genre’s most famous or commercially successful films. Yet, no other American film director dedicated entire decades of his life to the making of Oriental films in authentic Oriental settings. After 1924, Ingram’s life simply became inseparable from his North African films, which he completely dominated from inception to exhibition, making him thus a textbook auteur. This chapter will explore the effect that this extraordinary film director had on the Oriental film genre, and in the process bring him to the attention of film enthusiasts who had undeservedly ignored him for too long.
