	Tillie's Punctured Romance (1914 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A silent film directed by Mack Sennett, the film stars Marie Dressler, Mabel Normand, and Charlie Chaplin, as well as the Keystone Kops.
		The comedy in the film is largely slapstick: people frequently kick each other on the bum or trip each other; four men attempt to (and are unable to) help Tillie up when she falls; Tillie, taken to the police station, has a policeman wave his finger in her face, and she bites it.
		The film is also notable as the acting debut of 5-year-old Milton Berle, who has a brief role as a paperboy.

		In a film shot entirely in a studio, there is a clear attempt to confuse reality and illusion, something many Germans were doing in their daily lives in 1919-1920.
		The film was released in 1927 and became an immediate hit in the version we saw (some sources claim that the original print ran between 4 and 7 hours!).
		It was the first film to use mirrors to transform a model of the New York skyline into a futuristic city And it may have been the first to use water, almost like blood, to heighten the emotion of the disaster scene.

	U B U W E B : William S. Burroughs Films
		This section is intended to delineate a general background to the underground film developments of the 1960s that maintain a concern with structure and consequently the materiality of the medium.
		The development of a theory of structural film cannot be dealt with in terms purely related to cinematic developments; rather it is necessary to examine structural film in terms of contemporary problems (and their contexts) within other arts, in the same way that Man Ray's film approaches can be paralleled with his techniques in photography.
		The films produced contain highly sophisticated editing techniques and documenting the "materialaktions." These were performance art pieces whereby the human body is treated as the material and action against the body becomes the material for the film.

	Film
		Films shot by individuals and firms, and restricted to their private consumption are not included in these figures.
		The Indian film archives, the largest non-western repository, is also among the most notorious at preservation; less than 10% of all films made before 1931 (some estimate as low as 1%) of Indian films still exist.
		Indian films, a very large segment of the yearly film copy market, have an average of 300 prints in circulation per film because of the much larger size of cinema viewing halls, and the lack of "multiplexes" for shows on several screens.

	1890-1929
		Film, in its beginnings, created a new and inquisitive look at society, and people were happy to see this moving image.
		Silent films, especially in the early 1920's, began to show societal issues, including sexuality and race issues, but since issues of race and sexuality weren't addressed outright in society, as well they weren't in film.
		She starred in many films with her sister, Dorothy, and they became two of the most well known silent film actresses in the early 1900's.

	The Perils Of Pauline (1914)
		The Perils of Pauline (1914), a silent film episodic serial, is considered the most famous suspense serial in cinema history.
		The daring, athletic and active female star performed some of the riskiest, hair-raising stunts in these films (stranded on the side of a cliff, in a runaway balloon, in a burning house, etc).
		Her most famous stunt - in which she was tied to railroad tracks and had to be rescued from a speeding, rapidly-approaching train - was filmed near New Hope, PA at a place now known as "Pauline's Trestle".

	glbtq >> arts >> Bisexuality in Film
		These early silent films were not burdened by overt censorship, and filmmakers were free to represent sexuality in their characters' lives within the constraints of the mores of the period.
		While the film was not a commercial success, it was a watershed event in Hollywood's depiction of the bisexual as a normal, complex human being.
		The bisexual character in film is frequently represented as lacking commitment, someone who ultimately betrays his or her gay or straight partners or even his or her community.

	AboutFilm.com - Decasia (2002)
		Film itself consists of a clear plastic base, a thin layer of gelatin emulsion, and an image composed of either color dyes or particles of silver.
		Pre-1950 films have highly flammable nitrate bases that give off an acidic gas as they degrade, leaving the film itself tarnished and rusty, with splotches on the image.
		While film restorers work hard to rescue decaying film stock and remove scratches and spots from the image, Morrison purposely uses these dying prints to explore the theme of mortality--both film's and man's.

		Whether it be heterosexual lust between two people on the silent screen or two men dancing in Edison's test films of the late 1800's, sexuality has been prevalent on film for over 100 years.
		While homosexual images have become increasingly more available in film today, homosexuality was portrayed by directors as something to laugh at, something not discussed but portrayed on-screen even in the very beginning of film-making.
		Film has been used as an historical document since it was started, and still is today.

		This film, released 10 August 1914, was not only much longer than the previous silent versions of Stowe's novel; it was also the first film to feature an African-American actor in the role of Uncle Tom.
		In the late 1920s the film was slightly re-edited and released for home viewing, and the version of the film available here has been digitized from a copy of that version.
		Because of the film's length, the playable clips include some abridgements, though every twentieth frame of the whole film is available in the slideshow versions.

		he Blackhawk Films 16mm catalog notes that "our beautiful prints are reproduced from a 1920 reissue, which although slightly trimmed, was made from the camera negative." These 16mm prints have an organ score by John Muri for projection at 18 frames per second.
		The Blackhawk Films video restoration released by Kino on Video and Image Entertainment is based on the same material, but gaps in the 1920 print are carefully patched with sections from a lesser quality copy.

	Sexual or Erotic Films
		These kinds of films often appeal to the emotions of the viewer, with their emphasis on pleasure, physical desire, and human companionship.
		Films of romance with heart-throb sexy lead characters may have sexual elements, but these are often secondary to the main plot goal - the search and attainment of love.
		This titillating short 20-second film, with a close-up of a kiss, was denounced as shocking and pornographic to early moviegoers and caused the Roman Catholic Church to call for censorship.

	Henry B. Walthall: Film Review--The Silents 1914-1915
		This D. Griffith film is based loosely on Edgar Allan Poe's "The Tell Tale Heart," "Pit and the Pendulum," and "Anabel Lee." Walthall has the lead role as the nephew who plans to do away with his uncle.
		In several places, the film skips around between the storyline, Poe's drunken illusions, his poems, etc., which is confusing at times.
		The storyline focuses on Poe's life with cousin and wife Virginia Clemm with the film ending rather abruptly with Poe's visit to his wife's grave to the poem "Ulalume." Despite the short-comings, The Raven is one of my favorite Walthall flicks.

	Film of the Year: 1914: The Rise and Fall of Italy's Silent Spectacles
		The films fueling Italy's drive toward the top of the international film markets at that time were historical epics: grand spectacles of Rome's glorious past portrayed by a cast of thousands on massive sets.
		The film premiered in Turin, Italy on April 18, 1914 to great success, and the news of the cinematic masterpiece spread across Europe and the United States.
		In the film a Sicilian girl named Cabiria (Carolina Catena) is separated from her parents when Mount Etna erupts and causes widespread destruction.

		A radical labor-capital film was one that proposed socialism or some other radical variant as a solution to the ills of society, or, offered an unmitigated critique of capitalism--not just individual capitalists (as was often the case with liberal labor-capital films)
		The Jungle (1914) tries to show audiences that people are not born Socialists; they turn to radicalism when there is no other way to end their suffering.
		Not all radical films were quite as measured in their tone as The Jungle, nor did they all advance the same solutions.

	With Williamson Beneath the Sea: Introductory Remarks by Brian Taves
		The motion picture WITH WILLIAMSON BENEATH THE SEA (1932), the filmed autobiography of J. Ernest Williamson, came to the Library of Congress in 1992 from his daughter, Sylvia Munro, eager to find a permanent home for her father's film, and it became a major restoration project.
		Released in 1914, the film demonstrated how the photosphere functioned and the manner in which the Bahamas islanders depended on the life in the sea, climaxing with scenes of Williamson's fight with a shark, which he killed with a knife while remaining within the camera's range.
		He realized that fictional films could be a popular and lucrative outlet for films made with the photosphere, and was inherently involved with the scripting and directing of underwater scenes that could be shot with the photosphere.

	Screenshots from 1914 NWP Film
		I've finally converted these films to RealMedia format, and put them on a CD, along with a couple others, such as the 1917 opening of Twin Peaks Tunnel, and a short 1917 ride on the Mt. Tamalpais Gravity Railroad, Key System's 1945 "March of Progress" (very cool), and a couple "surprise" train flicks.
		The third film is about a "Redwood Empire Special," identified as a 121-car train of North Coast Redwood destined for the east from Sacramento over Donner.
		Power is SP Cab-Forward 4144; California Governor James "Sonny Jim" Rolf hams it up quite a bit as the supposed engineer of the train, which is described in the film as the heaviest ever taken over Donner in a single section- no date, but probably about 1930.
