		And it is the absence of this history that underscores the need for a Deaf Film Festival, such as the one that was held at the Pacific Film Archives on the campus of the University of California, Berkeley, from February 21st through the 23rd.
		Interestingly, the ads for the film, rather than describe Wyman's character as Deaf, talked of her as being an "innocent victim." The producers were worried talking about Deafness in the advertisements would depress the primarily Hearing audience.

		Although 35mm film had been the standard for theatrical releases for decades, the large film was cumbersome, expensive, and dangerous due to its flammable nature.
		Utilizing a special 16mm film which had double the number of perforations on both sides, the film maker would run the film through the camera in one direction, then reload and expose the other side of the film, the way an audio cassette is used today.
		The success of 8mm film was almost immediate, and within about fifteen years, 16mm film became almost exclusively a format of the professional filmmaker.

	Journal of Religion and Film: Moses and the Reel Exodus by G. Andrew Tooze
		In the biblical portion of the film this desire is represented by the Pharaoh, whose lavish court and dancing girls inspire a look of horror and a shudder of disgust from Moses and Aaron.
		When Moses first appears in the film as an adult, it is to the cheers and adulation of all of Egypt as he returns from a victorious military campaign in Ethiopia.
		The film does not emphasize these rituals, the Ark of the Covenant is never built, there are no meticulous instructions for the construction of the Tabernacle, and blood is never poured on the altar to sanctify the relationship between God and the people.

	Silent Orchestra Film Reviews
		This is the 1923 film starring Alla Nazimova in the title role of Salomé.
		It is not nearly as classical as it may seem appropriate for the film when you think about the approach at first, using themes and harmonies that partially stem from rock and jazz music rather than the classical orchestra approach.
		The film is avalable with several scores rooted in the 19th century period of the film.

	At-A-Glance Film Reviews: Our Hospitality (1923)
		While not Keaton's greatest work, this is nevertheless a fine film, with at least two classic Keaton sequences.
		The first is a string of mishaps during a long train ride -- trains were among Keaton's favorite comic props (later given a starring role in his masterpiece, The General) as this early feature clearly illustrates.
		The second is a hilarious and breathtaking waterfall rescue which, like all of Keaton's stunts, was performed by the man himself.

	The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari
		The filming technique is very stagy, the acting is over the top and the story is very underdeveloped.
		Sure, in the latter film, all the creatures may look perfectly real and there isn't a digital stitch evident, but the Kong creators had to do it by hand, laboriously moving a puppet frame by frame.
		He does drop ample hints, and the end of the film gives plenty of fodder for viewers to have a long debate about the bits and pieces of reality scattered within the symbolism.

	INKPOT MOVIES: THE TEN COMMANDMENTS (Essay by Jeff Dane)
		The spiritual message in his biblical-subject films was deeply felt by him throughout his career, and it manifested itself not only in his work but also in the deeds and conduct of his life.
		His proclivity for making biblical-subject films was a feature of his professional life, and by design he'd arrange crowd scenes, particularly around holidays, so that actors would have work and income.
		We can easily determine just how important the music is in the film, particularly in the opening credits, where music not only sets the mood but actually primes the viewer for the entire feature.
