	Film History Before 1920
		Films were increasingly being shown as part of vaudeville shows, variety shows, and at fairgrounds or carnivals.
		The six-minute narrative film combined re-enacted scenes and documentary footage, and was dramatically edited with inter-cutting between the exterior and interior of a burning house.
		The film also included exterior scenes, chases on horseback, actors that moved toward (and away from) the camera, a camera pan with the escaping bandits, and a camera mounted on a moving train.

	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.

	THE CABINET OF CALIGARI - DVD
		Everything Jane does in the film seems to be continuous with her waking self, but at the same time, she appears to have implicitly accepted the rules of this dream world.
		The film was scripted by Robert Bloch, who authored the novel on which Psycho is based and went on to have a lustrous career in the B-movie circuit cranking out exploitation pictures about "crazies" (after The Cabinet of Caligari, he wrote Strait-Jacket and The Night Walker for William Castle).
		It turns out that the entire film has existed within Jane's head: she was a nut who had to confront Caligari--the manifestation of her fears of psychiatry--before she could be cured.

	Silent Orchestra Film Screenings
		Going against the grain of the melodramatic French studio film of the 1920s, the avant-garde extravaganzas of Marcel L'Herbier (1888-1979) are celebrated today for their inventive camera movements, astounding set designs, and freewheeling editing styles.
		The silent film screening was a new experience for most of the percussionistas in the audience.
		The films are part of the ongoing Art Nouveau series at the East Wing of the National Gallery of Art.

	eWorcester - Entertainment
		The 1920 film “The Making of an American” was intended to inspire immigrants to this country to learn English and become successful and assimilated Americans.
		The film was shown to more than 112,500 people in Connecticut in 1920, and then copies were sold to other states.
		Industrial films such as “The Making of an American” are being sought out more and more because of the unique insight they can give into how things were actually like at the time they were made, as opposed to a Hollywood style-gloss on matters.

	Newspaper Rock: Film doings in Alaska
		Cathy Rexford, who co-organized the Native Revolution Film Festival during the 2006 Alaska Federation of Natives Convention and worked as associate producer for the documentary on the Duck-In, said Alaska Natives are adept at passing their stories, values and traditions from generation to generation, and film offers another way to do that.
		"Film provides us with a strong voice that is both contemporary and traditional and is a powerful tool with which we can raise important issues," Rexford said.
		Not so in film scores, said composer Brent Michael Davids, whose score for the 1920 silent film, "Last of the Mohicans," will be featured at the third annual World Indigenous Film Festival Friday and Saturday at the Alaska Native Heritage Center.

		For every Naruse heroine there is another woman, her rival or mirror image, whom she finds waiting when she turns a new corner, who legitimately possesses the man to whom the heroine has at best a moral or sentimental claim, or who stands as a living reproach to the heroine.
		Near the end of the film, Michiyo’s triumph over Satoko—which marks the renewal of her ability to reconcile herself to the perpetual disappointments of her married life—is signaled by her suddenly seeing the humor in the girl’s modern affectations and laughing at her.
		His ability to craft popular films without going over budget or schedule was especially prized by his bosses, who seem to have rewarded him with some degree of autonomy (his regular editor, Ume Takeda, recalled that “as a general rule, Naruse did the editing as he intended and the studio didn’t touch it”).

		The films, made for the lowest amount of money possible, were a result of the British Parliament’s 1928 introduction of a quota for foreign films, which included those in the Commonwealth.
		By the end of the inter-war period, Canada’s contribution to the motion picture was the documentary, a genre of film that was not normally found in Hollywood.
		From this Act, the National Film Board was established “as a co-coordinating agency for all public involvement with the medium” (Feldman 90).

	Bavaria Film GmbH: 1920
		The first film made in the glass workshop at Geiselgasteig is DER OCHSENKRIEG based on the novel by Ludwig Ganghofer.
		On May 1, production companies, a further hire company and a cinema are affiliated to the Münchner Lichtspielkunst AG.
		The foundation of the group is to be understood as a reaction to the Universum-Film AG (Ufa) founded in Berlin in December 1917, following General Ludendorff's wish for "standardisation of the German film industry".

	Bright Lights Film Journal \| Jekyll & Hyde on DVD
		For silent film buffs, the 1920 Jekyll and Hyde virtually demands to be seen, thanks to John Barrymore’s bravura set-gnawing in the lead.
		The Jekyll-Hyde transformation is perhaps the first and still one of the greatest money shots in the history of horror film, and Barrymore does a great job, throwing his body into convulsions and using his twitching lips and blazing eyes to convince us that we’ve seen the transformation without stop-action camera work.
		On the down side, the last minute or two of the film is simply missing, a rather egregious shortcoming that Kino doesn’t bother to mention.

	FilmBaby
		The film is based upon a medieval Jewish legend about a clay figure that is brought to life to serve as a protector of the Jews who live in the Prague ghetto in the year 1580.
		THE GOLEM is a film of great power, as hypnotic as a German Expressionist vision of life as a waking dream.
		Set in 16th-century Prague, this 1920 silent film was written by, directed by, and starring Paul Wegener, but the German Expressionist classic, here on DVD with English dialogue cards, is brought to life like its titular clay monster by local music-scene veteran Mark Rubin and his klezmer posse.

	11th Annual HPL Film Festival
		There was nothing terribly original for anybody who has been exposed to lovecraftian/occult-inspired film The bright spot was the villain, dubbed Snidely Whiplash, due to his over-the-top performance and facial hair that must be seen to be believed.
		The people working on the film clearly did their homework while preparing this film and hopefully it will be apparent when it is released in the spring of 2005.
		The film works pretty well, as night gallery decided to make it campy instead of serious, and it works quite well even though it varies somewhat from the original story.

		I’ve only seen a couple other silent films in the past, and found them to be fun in a vintage sort of way, so I gave this one a chance.
		I believe this to be one of the first full-length film adaptations, though a short movie was made 9 years earlier in 1911.
		I do believe this film to be the original classic that set the standard for future editions.

	Modern Japan - Entertainment - Movies
		From about 1920, Japanese film was divided into two main categories: Jidai-geki, or period films and Gendai-geki, or films with modern settings.
		A huge number of films were made about the war - about life in the military and about the effects of the war on life at home.
		At home, the industry was enjoying something of a revival, although many of the most famous films of the time were at least partly financed by foreign money.

	The Last Laugh
		The Last Laugh is the penultimate expressionistic street film, full of sets that look both realistic and fantastic at the same time, unsettling multiple exposures, operatic performances whose weight you can really feel on your chest, and a magic that few movies made after audio took over have been able to tap.
		It is not simply the movement of the camera that makes this film so exceptional, instead it is the careful choreography of the camera around and between people and objects.
		Although the film is often faulted for its happy and improbable ending, the epilogue is so tinged with giddy irony that I could not imagine the film without it.
