	FLOR DE DURAZNO (Patria Film, 1917)
		Films which are a mistery for me since they are never going to reach Argentina because they end in archival shelf simply because nobady has imagination to market them around the world.
		Yet, many films (some of them very good) despite the technological changeovers will continue to be unavailable for viewing, if they are not lost, simply because the industry believes that they wont make any money with them.
		The acting is quite good for 1917, it was very well produced and, while most of it is hard to follow without the titles, it features lots of interesting flashbacks and a handful of interesting optical tricks.

		This film is an early example of cultural relativism and the collaboration between informant and filmmaker.
		Results: films are based in pedagogical intent and teach the viewer through a distanced, omniscient Voice of God commentary.
		From this point, there is a notable decline in the use of still photographs in anthropology and in monographs because of shift in interest from objects to structural and psycholanalytical approaches to culture (except in the Third Reich).

	Big Boss Man Samuel Arkoff (1917-2001) \| PopMatters Film Feature
		AIP films were not cut-rate schlock, much as the titles and promotion could lead you to assume otherwise.
		Their dull beach party films were a weak substitute for stories that could have embodied the energy and audacity of rock 'n' roll.
		Fearful that the film might imply advocacy of psychedelics, AIP tampered with the last shot in the story to assert that mind-altering drugs were lethal in the extreme.

		The Russian film makers of the period were effectively working to suit the tastes of two markets, the indigenous and the foreign.
		Although, I have stated that Bauer and other film-makers of the Russian style, exhibit a radical stylistic alterity to the cinema of Europe and America, this does not imply that their approach to the development of a spatial and temporal cinematic world is of the same radical difference.
		In a particular scene, as the mute girl walks with her father at the beginning of the film, a static frame reveals the figures in the near foreground.

	Cleopatra (movie) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The story of this silent film was very loosly based on the plot of William Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra.
		Years later with the imposition of Hollywood's Hays Code the film was judged too obscene to be shown, and no surviving prints are known to exist.
		The 1963 film is infamous for bankrupting 20th Century Fox.

	The Tiger's Coat (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		W.W. Hodkinon (1881-1971) was among the first film distributors to begin showing early films in a theater rather than in run-down nickelodeons, thereby helping to make cinema (which heretofore had a reputation as appealing only to the most vulgar audiences) a respectable pasttime for the upper-classes.
		It was a success, and soon he began operating a regional film exchange and encouraging other exhibitors to follow his lead and open their own theaters.
		She appeared in about 15 feature films during her brief screen career, and only "The Prince of Pep" (1925) and "Twinkletoes" (1926), in addition to "The Tiger's Coat," seem to be available for viewing today.

		When the processed film was projected in sequence the inanimate models moved with the illusion of life.
		He brought the giant gorilla to life on film using eighteen inch high models constructed on metal skeletons with ball-and-socket joints, padded with foam rubber and cotton, and covered with rabbit skins to simulate the beast's fur.
		Although seldom used in the film, this prop was on display at the Chinese Theatre during the film's 1933 Hollywood premier.

		What follows is a series of recordings done by Roberto Firpo that are related to films, for the most part musical themes for silent films.
		This march was the theme of the film of the same title.
		In 1932, the film was reissued with a soundtrack and Turgenova recorded the Fresedo theme; this version, as well as the film, do exist.

	Toronto International Film Festival 2002 Interview with Travis Wilkerson director of An Injury to One
		The film provides the historical background to the event, the decades-long exploitation of the region and its workers by the Anaconda Copper Mining Company.
		The strength of Wilkerson’s film, which suffers from occasional bouts of self-consciousness, is its seriousness and intelligence in the examination of a history that is almost entirely concealed by official sources.
		We’re entering this period in which the means of film production are available to us, but the means of distribution are totally unavailable to us, and that seems increasingly to be the most pressing issue facing progressive or radical filmmakers.

	Teddy at the Throttle (1917) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Compared to the classic short comedies Chaplin and Arbuckle were making at the time it's not an especially funny film, being more of a situation comedy with strong dollops of melodrama, but it sure does move, and we can still see why audiences of the time found it exciting.
		We might groan today at such cornball elements as a top-hatted villain who actually ties his victim to the railroad tracks, but viewed in context-- that is, with the understanding that these elements were already considered cornball, even in 1917 --this film is still exciting, satisfying, and fun.

	LiP \| Film Review \| A History of Native Americans in Cinema
		The film was distinguished enough to land him the director's berth in a whole string of movies over the next decade, culminating in the sensitive and critically-acclaimed 1928 screen version of Helen Hunt Jackson's Ramona.
		Always, the Indians in such films serve as mere plot devices intended mainly to validate the main white characters' alleged sensitivities, and to convey forgiveness to "good" (i.e., most) whites for the misdeeds of their "bad" (i.e., atypical or "deviant") peers.
		Critical reaction to the film was interesting, to say the least, consisting in large part of chatter concerning its limitations and technical deficiencies rather than the profound social significance of its very existence.

	William Desmond Taylor - TOM SAWYER, 1917 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		All three films were Paramount releases directed by William Desmond Taylor and scripted by Julia Crawford Ivers.
		What the film makers decided to film they did by the book and scenario writer Ivers stuck very closely to the original narrative, editing and embroidering it where she saw fit but respecting the material.
		She is filmed in harsh sunlight in a Baby Jane wig with braids and decked out in a wedding cake dress and full length pantalettes which make it hard to look demure.

	Moving History
		The introduction of submarines in the First World War was seen as a crucial change to the nature of warfare, and proved to be a formidable force: the German U-boat campaigns in both World Wars constituted serious threats to Britain’s survival.
		This film provides a unique and remarkable illustration of the effectiveness of the campaign in the First World War, accompanying the U-35 and its charismatic commander Lothar von Arnauld de la Perière as they attack and sink a number of allied merchant ships in the Mediterranean and east Atlantic in the spring of 1917.
		The film stresses the chivalry with which de la Perière conducts his attacks – a careful attempt to reassure German and neutral audiences after the allies had successfully used actions like the torpedoing of the Lusitania to brand U-boat sinkings as atrocities.

	The Unluckiest Man in Hollywood, Part 2 Timothy Noah
		Goldstein's manuscript reveals him to be an excitable fellow, deeply convinced that he was an accomplished film director, even though he'd never directed a film before.
		Whether or not he was a spy or a frustrated artist or just bananas does not alter the fact of his actions, which blatantly served to undermine public support for our own war effort in support of our allies.
		I mean, they even let him edit the film and continue screening it, which hardly seems so Orwellian to me, given the circumstances.

	Ford Rises from the Dead. Again.
		The movies of 1917 started a four-year, 25-film association between Ford and Carey.
		Films in those days were made in community, as well, by the same troupe of players, writer, cameraman, director month after month -- and both brothers found ways to continue this mode of production long after it ceased being an industry norm.
		Many traits like this one, inherited from brother Frank, are intensified in Jack's hands, so that already his movies seem more “personable” than other films: emphasis on the girl suffering, on moral aspects, on feelings; inventing a bit of business for each shot; a whacky sense of humor.

	Robert Farnon - film and TV composer
		Robert Farnon was born in Toronto in Canada and his initial musical experience included playing trumpet in the Orchestra of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation before moving to work in the US.
		He also arranged and recorded songs for many leading artists including Frank Sinatra, Sarah Vaughan and Tony Bennett with whom he was to form a long association through concert and television appearances.
		He composed the scores for several films, though his most instantly recognised compositions (at least to those of a certain age) are without doubt his themes for television series of the 60s and 70s particularly "Panorama" and the War Dramas "Colditz" and "Secret Army".
