Podcasts about san francisco silent film festival

Almost 100 years American ornithologist Benjamin Gault came to Kerry and Cork. His purpose was to document birdlife but the films he shot also captured the way people lived in the 1920s just after the War of Independence and Civil War. His footage was forgotten for decades but his visit lived on in folk memory. Micheál Ó Mainnín decided over a decade to find out what happened to Benjamin Gault’s films after he had heard the tales of an American recording films in West Kerry in the 1920s. Jerry spoke to Micheál and to Dr Aoife Granville from Dingle. Aoife and her sister Deirdre were multi-instrumentalists on the soundtrack to the digitised film of Benjamin Gault’s footage. https://ifiarchiveplayer.ie/benjamin-gault/ This has been made possible by the Chicago Academy of Sciences, San Francisco Silent Film Festival, and the Irish Film Institute as well as by some generous benefactors.

In the oceans of ink devoted to the monumental movie star/businesswoman/political activist Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor (1932-2011), her beauty and not-so-private life frequently overshadowed her movies. While she knew how to generate publicity like no other, her personal life is set aside in this volume in favor of her professional oeuvre and unique screen dynamism. In On Elizabeth Taylor: An Opinionated Guide (Oxford UP, 2024), her marriages, illnesses, media firestorms, perfume empire, violet eyes, and AIDS advocacy take a back seat to Elizabeth Taylor, the actress. Taylor's big screen credits span over fifty years, from her pre-adolescent debut in There's One Born Every Minute (1942) to her cameo in The Flintstones (1994). She worked steadily in everything from the biggest production in film history (Cleopatra in 1963) to a humble daytime TV soap opera (General Hospital in 1981). Each of her sixty-seven film appearances is recapped here with background on their inception, production, release, and critical and financial outcome. On Elizabeth Taylor: An Opinionated Guide is a cradle-to-grave chronology of Taylor's life, noting key events, achievements, and milestones. This book offers a work-by-work analysis of her entire career told in chronological order, each film headlined with year of release, distributing studio, and director. This in-depth overview provides an invaluable new way of understanding Taylor's full life and work, as well as the history and nuances of the film industry as it existed in the twentieth century. Kennedy engagingly reassesses Taylor's acting and the nuances she brought to the screen - this includes a consideration of her specific art, the development of her voice, her relationship to the camera, and her canny understanding of the effect she had on audiences worldwide. Kennedy also provides an elucidating guide to her entire filmography, one that speaks to the quality of her performances, their contours and shading, and their context within her extraordinary life and career. On Elizabeth Taylor is a beautifully comprehensive overview of a singular actress of the twentieth century, offering new ways to see and appreciate her skill and peerless charisma, in turn placing her among the greatest film stars of all time. Matthew Kennedy is a film historian based in Oakland, California. He is the author of Roadshow! The Fall of Film Musicals in the 1960s, biographies of actresses Marie Dressler and Joan Blondell, and of director-screenwriter Edmund Goulding.

ZEUS, Ireland's leading homegrown micromobility company, proudly announces its partnership with University College Cork (UCC) for the Irish premiere of the restored silent-era classic, The Signal Tower. Last shown in Cork in 1925, this timeless film returns to the big screen for a free gala screening, with live musical accompaniment by one of the world's leading silent-film musicians, Stephen Horne, at the Aula Maxima in UCC on Tuesday, November 21. The gala evening, supported by ZEUS, celebrates the convergence of history and modernity. As Ireland's largest homegrown micromobility company, ZEUS looks forward highlighting the transformative role of e-scooters in Ireland's urban mobility and contributing to the nation's future by offering sustainable and convenient alternatives for short-distance travel. Expressing enthusiasm for this historic collaboration, ZEUS CEO Damian Young stated, "We are thrilled to be part of the revival of such a significant piece of cinematic history. The Signal Tower's return aligns seamlessly with ZEUS' commitment to connecting the past and future, just as our e-scooters are poised to revolutionise transportation across Ireland". The restoration of The Signal Tower is a testament to the dedication and international dimension of film preservation and was led by Photoplay Productions and the San Francisco Silent Film Festival. Robert Byrne, President of the San Francisco Silent Film Festival and an award-winning film restorer with a history of collaboration with UCC's Department of Film and Screen Media, will introduce the screening and will also deliver a masterclass on film restoration on Wednesday 22nd November.

The earliest surviving Technicolor feature film persists in cultural heritage not only for its legacy as a vibrant and awe-inspiring pioneer of technical innovation, but also as a starring vehicle for the sumptuous Chinese-American actress Anna May Wong, who appeared in her first starring role as the tragically lovestruck teenager in this retelling of the Madame Butterfly story. There are surprising observations to be made at every turn, from the inherent orientalist flavoring of story to the awe-inspiring visual direction which so beautifully survives today in spite of considerable mystery regarding its supposed rediscovery. Also discussed is a tour of the programming seen at the San Francisco Silent Film Festival, where cohost David saw this film and a number of others, including titles from Lubitsch, DeMille, and King Vidor. Tune in as we evaluate the importance of such restorations and screenings as allowed by these festivals, and the unique experiences being curated for these special screenings we hope can be made more available as the interest in celebrating Silent Film only grows from here.

Three years of absence from the San Francisco Silent Film Festival has only left a longing in Peter's heart. And while The Cinephiliacs remains on permanent hiatus, the return of the best festival in the United States meant a necessary return to podcasting, especially when frequent co-host Victor Morton joining him. In this go around, they marvel at the masters, uncover the unknowns, and celebrate the colors. Watching films across Europe, Ukraine, and Japan, these films once again show us that silent film is not just about finding the old, but seeing anew through the incredible work of archivists, restoration work, and orchestras providing a highlight in the grand ol' Castro Theatre. This might just be a one-off episode, but what better than the Silent Fest to reignite the flames of cinephilia—particularly with fire on screen.

jQuery(document).ready(function(){ cab.clickify(); }); Original Podcast with clickable words https://tinyurl.com/yk699eks Highly valuable films from Corca Dhuibhne in the 1920s found. Scannáin fíor-luachmar as Corca Dhuibhne sna 1920í aimsithe. America has found some invaluable films that provide an important insight into life in 1920s Ireland. Ta scannáin fíor-luachmhar a thugann léargas tábhachtach ar an saol in Éirinn sna 1920í aimsithe i Meiriceá. Benjamin T. Benjamin T. The films were made by Gault, a conservationist and naturalist, while in Ireland collecting seabirds, eggs and other animals. Gault, caomhantóir agus nádúraí a dhein na scannáin, le linn do bheith in Éirinn ag bailiú éanlaithe mara, uibheacha and ainmhithe eile. Most of the films are about the Corca Dhuibhne area of Kerry. Baineann formhór na scannán le ceantar Chorca Dhuibhne i gCiarraí. Scenes tamed on 19 35mm rolls include farmers plowing in the parish of An Fheirtéaraigh, turf cutting on the Field, set dancing on the Boulteen, races and a fair day in Dingle, women going to Mass, street vendors, sheep being transported from Inis Mhic Uibhleáin in the naomhóga. I measc na radharcanna atá ceansaithe ar 19 rolla 35mm tá feirmeoirí i mbun curadóireachta i bparóiste an Fheirtéaraigh, baint na móna ar an bhFearann, rince seite ar an mBuailtín, ráiseanna agus lá aonaigh sa Daingean, mná ag dul ar an Aifreann, díoltóirí sráide, caoire á n-iompar ó hInis Mhic Uibhleáin sna naomhóga. The material was discovered by Mícheál Ó Mainnín, a farmer and fisherman from An Fheirtéaraigh's parish. Mícheál Ó Mainnín, feairmeoir agus iascaire ó pharósite an Fheirtéaraigh a d'aimsigh an t-ábhar agus e ag fiosrú scéil a bhí ag a athair críonna fén Meiriceánach a bhí i mbun taifeadta sa cheantar fadó. "My wise father, Mick 'Neilí' Ó Mainnín, said that this American was in the area collecting birds and things. "Dúirt m'athair críonna, Mick 'Neilí' Ó Mainnín go raibh an Meiriceánach so sa cheantar agus e ag bailiú éanlaithe is rudaí. He had no shortage of money and would sell the fishermen for what they brought him. Ní raibh aon easpa airgid air agus dhíolfadh sé na hiascairí as an méid a thugaidís chuige. But my wise father said he also had a camera and took a number of films in the area. " Ach dúirt m'athair críonna go raibh ceamara aige chomh maith agus go dtóg sé scata films sa cheantar." Mannin investigated the story and finally found a collection of Gault films, in the archives of the Chicago Academy of Sciences, among notes and diaries relating to his voyage to Ireland. D'fhiosraigh an Mainníneach an scéal agus d'aimsigh sé cnuasach scannán Gault ar deireadh, i gcoimeád i gcartlann an Chicago Academy of Sciences, agus é i measc nótaí agus dialanna a bhaineann lena thuras go hÉirinn. The Irish Film Institute decided to digitize the material, with the support of the San Francisco Silent Film Festival. Bheartaigh Inistitiúd Scannán na hÉireann an t-ábhar a dhigitiú, le tacaíocht ón San Francisco Silent Film Festival. The Irish Film Institute says they are invaluable recordings that give a fascinating insight into rural life in the 1920s. Deir Institiúd Scannán na hÉireann gur taifeadtaí fíor-luachmhar iad a thugann léargas iontach ar shaol na tuaithe sna 1920í. Manus McManus said that recordings from this period are very rare and that some of these films are of a high standard. Dúirt Manus McManus gur fíorannamh a mhaireann taifeadtaí ón dtréimhse seo agus go bhfuil na scannáin áirithe seo ar ard-chaighdeán. The Institute intends to make the films available to the public on its website. Tá sé beartaithe ag an Institiúd na scannáin a chur ar fáil don bpobal ar a suíomh idirlín. Benjamin T. Benjamin T. The pictures were taken by Gault in Corca Dhuibhne in the 1920s Gault a thóg na pictiúir i gCorca Dhuibhne sna 1920í

This week, San Francisco based early 20th Century American music preservationist duo Meredith Axelrod & Craig Ventresco recorded live at the Ozark Folk Center State Park. Also, interviews with these time traveling minstrels. “Delightfully engaging and unassumingly comic, Meredith Axelrod envisions the limitless potential of early twentieth century music, whether it be Ragtime, Music Hall, Pop Standard, Boogie Woogie, Tin Pan Alley, String band, Jazz, Country, Blues or even Jug Band music, and embodies the spirit that brought the music into existence. Her vocal style is unusual, probably because she learned to sing by listening to how folks did it a century ago – through the medium of cylinders and 78-rpm records. The dominant theme throughout Meredith’s expansive repertoire is that, whatever the genre, these are songs she learns from the original sources (records and/or sheet music) which were released between the 1890s and the 1930s. Part of the allure of old time music is hearing the original recordings as played and sung by the original performers in their heyday, loving what they’re doing and doing it because it means something to them in that moment. Meredith brings the same unbridled passion, earnest devotion and candid vitality to all of her music. She has found possibility and joy in the treasures of cultural folklore. Meredith demonstratively loves the life she leads, thriving in varied musical and performance settings. She often partners with string virtuoso Craig Ventresco. They perform at venues and festivals that include the San Francisco Silent Film Festival, West Coast Ragtime Festival, and Blind Boone Early Jazz Festival.” - https://meredithaxelrod.com/about/ In this week’s “From the Vault” segment, musician, educator, and country music legacy Mark Jones offers a 1976 archival recording of Ozark original Ulys Pilcher performing the traditional tune “Sally Goodin,” from the Ozark Folk Center State Park archives. From his series entitled “Back in the Hills,” writer, professor, and historian Dr. Brooks Blevins explores the story of the Ozark Jubilee, one of America’s first nationally-broadcast old time barn dance country music television shows based in Springfield, Missouri.

After a year hiatus, Peter returns to the Castro Theatre alongside Victor Morton to check back in with the good folks at the San Francisco Silent Film Festival, now in their 24th iteration. It's more proof that this cinephile culture is alive and well and always expanding toward new avenues despite its century longevity. This year includes discoveries from both the studio era of filmmaking as well as unique corners of the globe, featuring narratives of fallen women, activist women, and women willing to push their vanity to death itself (also the occasional man). The surprise of the festival in part is seeing this period of history both in its innovations as well as its regressions, which sometimes work to turn seemingly simple works into complex objects. Within this, great artists appear: some known and others now reclaimed. Join Peter and Victor as they work their way through this excellent set of films. 0:00–2:41 Opening2:42–15:00 The Signal Tower (Clarence Brown, 1924) 16:36–30:56 Tonka of the Gallows (Karel Anton, 1931) 32:11–49:33 Color Extravaganza! 50:30–53:30 Sponsorship Section 54:16–1:05:08 Goona Goona (André Roosevelt and Armand Denis, 1932) 1:06:03–1:24:03 Romance, Comedy and Otherwise 1:24:52–1:37:38 The Wedding March (Erich Von Stroheim, 1928) 1:37:42–1:26:52 Close

San Francisco Silent Film Festival, with Anita Monga and Rob Byrne • Victoria Riskin on Fay Wray and Robert Riskin (72:24)

Cross-dressing air pirates, parades of mechanical dolls, directors doing their own stunts in frigid waters, and a psychological battle for the soul of Ukraine. Now attending for their third and fourth time respectively, Peter and guest Victor Morton always find a Pandora's Box of surprises at the San Francisco Silent Film Festival. Not so much for its relevance to today (sorry, no Age of Trump discussion here), but instead for the sheer amount of creativity and engagement with the world that can sometimes feel more thoughtful than contemporary cinema. This year they dive into films from eight countries over three decades, with a few from silent cinema's canonical directors, a couple from directors in need of major recognition, and finally some films that simply baffle for their sheer WTFness. It's another wrap up in the latest discoveries in silent cinema in the East Bay. 0:00-2:45 Opening 2:46-14:32 A Page of Madness (Teinosuke Kinugasa, Japan, 1926) 15:37-27:40 Magic & Mirth: A Tribute to David Shepard / Filibus (Mario Roncoroni, Italy, 1915) 28:36-38:09 Body & Soul (Oscar Micheaux, USA, 1925) 38:34-42:10 Sponsorship Section 43:33-54:27 A Man There Was (Victor Sjöström, Sweden, 1917) 55:09-1:06:07 Two Days (Heorhii Stabovyi, Ukraine / USSR, 1927) 1:07:07-1:16:12 The Doll (Ernst Lubitsch, Germany, 1919) 1:17:03-1:18:42 Close

The San Francisco Silent Film Festival has just closed for another year. Four days of movies and music at the sumptuous Castro Theatre – and this time I was actually there!

Great works of art transcend the passage of time, but the cinema of years past has its own special qualities of transcendence and immersion. This episode of The Film Comment Podcast explores how we relate to older films in the modern era, and examines the culture that surrounds their appreciation in an era of revival runs, film festivals, and restoration efforts. The discussion, led by Film Comment Digital Editor Violet Lucca, touches on modern audiences' emotional distance from older works, the enduring power of the film medium, and the particular experience of younger generations of cinephiles. Rounding out the panel are Vulture critic Mark Harris; FC columnist Farran Smith Nehme; and critic Imogen Sara Smith, whose September/October feature on classical cinema and the San Francisco Silent Film Festival inspired this conversation.
