	Film History of the 1920s
		Films really blossomed in the 1920s, expanding upon the foundations of film from earlier years.
		Films varied from sexy melodramas and biblical epics by Cecil B. DeMille, to westerns (such as Cruze's The Covered Wagon (1923)), horror films, gangster/crime films, war films, the first feature documentary or non-fictional narrative film (Robert Flaherty's Nanook of the North (1922)), romances, mysteries, and comedies (from the silent comic masters Chaplin, Keaton, and Lloyd).
		Film theaters and studios were not initially affected in this decade by the Crash in late 1929.

	Untitled Document (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Acetate is commonly called 'safety' film (as is polyester) because it does not have the combustible qualities that nitrate film has, and therefore was considered to be safe for use in homes.
		To avoid having one side of the film thicker than the other, films with magnetic soundtracks often have a "balance stripe." This is a thin blank mag stripe on the opposite edge of the film from the magnetic sound track that keeps the film level on the reel.
		Films with magnetic tracks (and especially separate full-coat mag tracks) have shown to be more susceptible to vinegar syndrome, and should be monitored more closely than silent films or reels with optical tracks.

	Film Distribution
		Film distribution is the marketing branch of the industry and a necessary, though often resented, link between production and exhibition.
		Since the early 1920s, the Canadian distribution sector has been overwhelmed by these multinationals: though there are approximately 80 Canadian distribution companies, the largest 8 (all subsidiaries of Hollywood multinationals and members of the Motion Picture Export Association of America) receive about 80% of total rental revenues.
		When the Film Products Importation Act was tabled in June 1988, the original proposals had been considerably weakened and, during the free trade negotiations that followed, the federal government apparently agreed to abandon even those.

	The 1920s
		The 1920s was a decade of exciting social changes and profound cultural conflicts.
		The 1920s is commonly thought of as a hedonistic interlude between the Great War and the Great Depression, a decade of dissipation, of jazz bands, raccoon coats, bathtub gin, flappers, flagpole sitters, bootleggers, and marathon dancers.
		Library of Congress materials from the 1920s that document the widespread prosperity of the Coolidge years, the nation's transition to a mass consumer economy, and the role of government in this transition.

	Film History of the 1920s
		Film studios were confronted with many problems related to the coming of sound, including restricted markets for English-language talkies.
		Lubitsch's first sound film The Love Parade (1929) (with Jeanette MacDonald's debut appearance), exhibited the director's creative adaptation to the requirements of sound film, and was one of the first backstage musicals with musical numbers that were integral to the plot.
		The film was originally released as a silent film, but the studio pressured Hitchcock into adding dialogue sequences (with innovative post-synchronization techniques) for a talkie version.

	The Silent Film Bookshelf
		The filming and projection standard for sound films is 24 frames per second (fps), but silent films would be filmed and shown at speeds ranging from 12-26 fps.
		In the early 1920s, most films were made in a factory-style manufacturing system with sets built on stages and outdoor scenes filmed on backlots or nearby locations.
		Some films were made on distant locations when it was cheaper, or the results could not be achieved at the studio.

		Many full-length films were produced during the decade of the 1920s.
		With sound, the concept of the musical appeared immediately, as in The Jazz Singer of 1927, because silent films had been accompanied by music for years when projected in theaters.
		The following is a list of films made from 1920 through 1929.

	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 very specialized "Orchestral Film Themes from the 70's and 80's" includes highly-stylized royalty free music reminiscent of films such as "Rocky" and "Shaft," expressing distinct musical conventions of the 1970's and 80's mega-hits.

	History Detectives . Investigations - Silent Film Reel \| PBS
		Eddie Polo was a legendary stuntman in the 1920s silent film world, but very few of his films remain.
		In its early days, silent film was seen as a transitory production, and movie companies such as Paramount and Universal dumped entire archives into the Pacific Ocean, melted nitrate prints to extract the silver, or used the flammable stock for special effects on their back-lot sets.
		History Detectives ventures to Kentucky and Ohio to determine whether this reel could be one of thousands of silent films once thought to have been lost forever to film history.
