What is it like to hear and see a live musician accompany a silent film? Luke Heying, Abbie McLaren, Will Sinak, and Nathan Platte tackle that question in this episode by exploring guitarist Marc Ribot's live musical accompaniment to Aelita: Queen of Mars (1924) at FilmScene in Iowa City. We talk about the experience of drinking in Ribot's brilliantly eclectic soundscape for a silent-era science fiction odyssey. More about the team:Luke Heying is a University of Iowa senior majoring in Economics with a minor in Music. Abbie McLaren is a University of Iowa senior double majoring in Cinema and Journalism. Will Sinak is a University of Iowa senior majoring in Cinema. ResourcesFor more on Ribot's music for silent films, check out ShoeString Symphonettes (1997), which features an earlier accompaniment for Aelita composed for small ensemble. Listen too to his album, Silent Movies (2010), which features more of his work for the medium. Brief excerpts from both albums are heard in this episode. For more on the expanding practice of musicians writing newmusic for silent films, see Today's Sounds for Yesterday's Films: Making Music for Silent Cinema, edited by K.J. Donnelly and Ann-Kristin Wallengren (Palgrave, 2016).Special thanks to FilmScene for hosting Marc Ribot's performance and helping us get tickets to his sold-out show.

In the previous episode, I talked with author Mallory O'Meara about Milicent Patrick, but there wasn't room to include this bonus material about Mallory's new book, Daughter of Daring. It tells the amazing story of Helen Gibson, the first superstar professional stuntwoman in Hollywood. She was like a combination of Annie Oakley and Michelle Yeoh at a time when silent movie stars were trying to outdo each other in their death-defying stunts. Learn more about your ad choices.

Mike and Nick celebrate spooky season with two classics of silent horror cinema. What better way to kick off the festivities other than travelling back in time? 1926's Faust sees FW Murnau retell the classic tale of making a deal with the devil. 1928's The Man Who Laughs sees Paul Leni channel Conrad Veidt (of The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari fame) to tell the tragic love story of a man disfigured during youth. Both films capitalize on the early stages of the medium. Where sound is absent, the two films more than make up for with their stars' expressive power.
Throughout the 1920s, three sisters dominated the Australian film scene. The phenomenal filmmaking team of Isabel, Phyllis, and Paulette McDonagh reigned supreme as the undisputed Queens of Silent Cinema... until the talkies arrived to turn everything upside down. Award-winning author Mandy Sayer tells Olivia all about Those Dashing McDonagh Sisters, whose lives were every bit as dramatic (and as complicated) as any Hollywood film.

“Wait a minute, wait a minute, you ain't heard nothing yet!” This is the story of the silver screen. In the late nineteenth century, technology is advancing rapidly. Eadweard Muybridge's trip-wire camera work, made famous by a “motion study” of a galloping horse, is giving way to smoother and longer projections. Some see these short films simply as a curiosity, an “invention without a future” as early filmmaker Louis Lumière famously says, but Thomas Edison knows there is serious money to be had. He's quick to patent his inventions (and to sue anyone trying to circumvent his Motion Picture Patents Company), but even he can't keep motion pictures under wraps forever. Independent filmmakers like Carl Laemmle and William Fox turn their actors into stars and move out to sunny Hollywood to operate far from Edison's watchful eye. LA explodes in the 1910s and 20s as moviemakers and actors flock to the area, and though their decadent lives and debatable morals worry the public, audiences keep consuming the studio's silent productions. That is, until synchronized sound enters the scene. ____ Connect with us on HTDSpodcast.com and go deep into episode bibliographies and book recommendations join discussions in our Facebook community get news and discounts from The HTDS Gazette come see a live show get HTDS merch or become an HTDS premium member for bonus episodes and other perks.

Eine Person, 4 Unternehmungen. Bar, Werbung, Kinofilme sowie ein mehrsprachiges Filmvorführsystem. Carmen Sommer erzählt im Gespräch, wie sie bereits mit 22 Jahren eine Bar übernahm. Klar, in dem Alter liebt man Partys, aber schnell wurde aus der Party am Abend, die Buchhaltung am Tag. Und das Leben als Barinhaberin mit einem Leben als Agenturinhaberin zu verknüpfen, gelang ihr auch. Und dann noch durch Österreich touren, um Menschen mit Filmen zu begeistern, darf natürlich auch nicht fehlen. Es ist schwer, Carmen zu beschreiben. Sie selbst nahm das Wort “Tausendsassarin” in den Mund. Im Podcast-Interview spricht Carmen Sommer mit Podcast-Host Robert Pacher über den Weg in die Selbstständigkeit, Fehler, Glück, Entscheidungen und vieles mehr. ⬇️ **Carmen Sommer** Sixty Twenty, Silent Cinema, Colorphyll, M.U.

Archival Film Curatorship: Early and Silent Cinema from Analog to Digital (Amsterdam UP, 2023) is the first book-length study that investigates film archives at the intersection of institutional histories, early and silent film historiography, and archival curatorship. It examines three institutions at the forefront of experimentation with film exhibition and curatorship. The Eye Film Museum in Amsterdam, the George Eastman Museum in Rochester, NY, and the National Fairground and Circus Archive in Sheffield, UK serve as exemplary sites of historical mediation between early and silent cinema and the digital age. A range of elements, from preservation protocols to technologies of display and from museum architectures to curatorial discourses in blogs, catalogs, and interviews, shape what the author innovatively theorizes as the archive's hermeneutic dispositif. Archival Film Curatorship offers film and preservation scholars a unique take on the shifting definitions, histories, and uses of the medium of film by those tasked with preserving and presenting it to new digital-age audiences. Archival Film Curatorship is available as an open access e-book at this link. Jen Hoyer is Technical Services and Electronic Resources Librarian at CUNY New York City College of Technology.

Jackie and Greg descend into the depths below the city of METROPOLIS, Fritz Lang's sprawling sci-fi touchstone from 1927. Topics of discussion include the grand scale and ambition of Lang's vision, how it inspired every piece of science fiction cinema that followed, the film's connection to the Nazi party, and whether its message and ending are worth a damn.#36 on Sight & Sound's 2012 "The 100 Greatest Films of All Time" list.https://www.bfi.org.uk/sight-and-sound/polls/greatest-films-all-time-2012#67 on Sight & Sound's 2022 "The Greatest Films of All Time" list. https://www.bfi.org.uk/sight-and-sound/greatest-films-all-timeCheck us out on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sceneandheardpodCheck us out at our official website: https://www.sceneandheardpod.comJoin our weekly film club: https://www.instagram.com/arroyofilmclubJP Instagram/Twitter: jacpostajGK Instagram: gkleinschmidtGraphic Design: Molly PintoMusic: Andrew CoxEditing: Asa ParsonsGet in touch at hello@sceneandheardpod.comSupport the showSupport the show on Patreon: patreon.com/SceneandHeardPodorSubscribe just to get access to our bonus episodes: buzzsprout.com/1905508/subscribe

Special guest Dr Lawrence Napper, Senior Lecturer in Film Studies at King's College London and expert in early silent and British cinemas, joins Chris and Alex once again - this time to talk about silent cinema in this Footnote episode of the podcast. Topics include the role of piano accompaniments, string quartets, and full orchestras within early film culture; the locating of silent cinema as a Victorian leisure practice and connections to pantomime; aesthetic shifts in narrative, editing, and style during the 1920s that codify the language of cinema as it develops across the silent period; the ‘realism' of silent cinema acting styles; and what it means to be a film historian and archivist today. **Fantasy/Animation theme tune composed by Francisca Araujo** **As featured on Feedspot's 25 Best London Education Podcasts**
https://notesonfilm1.com/2023/10/31/in-conversation-with-pamela-hutchinson-on-the-red-shoes/ There is a major retrospective of the films of Powell & Pressburger currently underway in London at the BFI Southbank – the most extensive celebration of their work ever undertaken -- selections of which will tour the country. As part of the celebrations, the BFI has published a short monograph by Pamela Hutchinson on THE RED SHOES -- one of their greatest films -- under its ‘BFI Film Classics' imprint. I found it fun to read and very informative, with an impressive range of sources, intelligently organised. The book is beautifully written in a way that seems personal but is so impressively argued it becomes very difficult to argue against; and with a delightful mode of narrating: ‘but perhaps you disagree with my take.' It's both impressive and entertaining and it made me want to talk to Pam some more about the film and the book. In the accompanying podcast, we discuss the following: Who are Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger and what is their significance to a history of cinema in general, and British cinema in particular? What is the enduring appeal of THE RED SHOES. Why does the film feel so distinctly British but also so different from the British Cinema then being produced. What is the context for the film's theme of ‘dying for art'. How did the filmmakers and cinematographer Jack Cardiff achieve a style of colour so different than that normally produced by Technicolour productions under the direction of Natalie Kalmus? What is a composed film? What is the relationship of a ‘composed film' to the concept of Gesuntkunstwerk? What was the status of ballet then and how does the film deploy the form? Was the film an influence on MGM Freed Unit Productions such as AN AMERICAN IN PARIS? What did Anton Walbrook and Moira Shearer bring to the film and what happened to the after? And much more. I have spoken to Pam previously on her other brilliant BFI classic on PANDORA'S BOX; listeners might want to have a look at the Silent London website on all aspects of Silent Cinema that she directs and writes in. Pam will be talking on THE RED SHOES at the Midlands Arts Centre on the 16th of December to accompany a screening of the film. The MAC cinema has arguably the best projection system in the Midlands, a perfect place to see such a great and sumptuous film. Do I need to say that the book is a perfect stocking filler for Christmas?
Our guest today is Maggie Hennefeld, McKnight Presidential Fellow and Associate Professor of Cultural Studies and Comparative Literature at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, who has co-curated a dvd set of the medium's early female comedians titled Cinema's First Nasty Women. Maggie talks us through the current resurgence in interest in silent cinema and the global landscape of festivals, supporters and restoration projects, as well as her own journey of scholarship in the field that led to her collaborating on this important project. All this interest seems long overdue considering the fantastically experimental and entertaining material, which is raucous, varied and vast, often making radical social commentary that still resonates today. Maggie vividly describes several highlights in this comprehensive collection, and the women who were behind and in front of the camera. In addition to assembling, restoring and annotating the films, the team also engaged over 45 mostly female composers to write and perform both traditional and avant-garde scores for each film, and she talks extensively about that process. We also discuss the erasure of this material from the silent film canon, and women from comedy (among many other fields) in general, and how these films both give us a new understanding of comedy in this era, even as they inform our on-going struggles with sexism and racism today, by showing us images of women that are simultaneously empowering and troubling. All films are contextualized with expert commentary, allowing them to be used in classrooms or otherwise as jumping-off points for deeper conversation. Finally, Maggie shares some thoughts from the book she's currently working on about the notion of “hysterical laughter” and its supposed danger to women.Here are some of the references from this episode, for those who want to dig a little deeper:Cinema's First Nasty WomenDVD Booklet InsertMaggie Hennefeld's other publications:Death from Laughter, Female Hysteria and Early CinemaSpecters of Slapstick and Silent Film ComediennesOther Curators of the set:Laura Horak – Girls Will Be BoysElif Rongen-Kaynakçi – EYE filmmuseumHenry Jenkins, What Made Pistachio Nuts?: Early Sound Comedy and the Vaudeville AestheticCharlotte GreenwoodFanny BriceLupe VélezWinnie LightnerAli WongSarah SilvermanWanda SykesJames Agee – “Comedy's Greatest Era”Charlie Chaplin in Mable's Strange PredicamentSilent Film CultureWomen and the Silent ScreenNitratevilleSilent LondonEdward Everett HortonSteve Massa and Ben Model – silent comedy Watch PartySilent Film FestivalsPordenone Film FestivalBologna Film FestivalSan Francisco Silent Film FestivalEl Festival Internacional de Cine Silente México Hippodrome film festivalTrump – “Nasty Women”Film ScholarsArigon StarrLiza BlackShelley Stamp Female Filmmakers, Producers, and ComediansAlice Guy-BlachéBertha RegustusDorothy ArznerFay TincherIda LupinoLéontineLois WeberMabel NormandMinnie Devereaux – “Fatty and Minnie He-Haw”Sarah DuhamelTexas GuinanSilent Film MusicDana Reason – ScoreDreamland FacesGonca Feride VarolGuenter BuchwaldJosé María Serralde RuizMeg MorleyNeil BrandSteven HorneTerri Lyne CarringtonNasty Women team on Nitrateville RadioOur previous Episode 30: The forgotten women of early filmmakingHistory of the Tom BoyNancy WalkerPeg Bracken – The I Hate to Housekeep Book / I Hate to Cook BookDaisiesThe UnknownArrest Warrant – Ukranian silent cinemaWhat's Up Doc?Undercrank Productions (silent film restoration)Online screenings from the Bologna and Pordenone film festivalsZiegfeld FolliesHal Roach StudiosShare your thoughts via Twitter with Henry, Colin and the How Do You Like It So Far? account!

With so much early history unrecorded, the "firsts" of cinema remain difficult to definitively establish. It is rare, then, that a film comes along which can tote such a title without further question. The oldest surviving American Feature Film, and what is believed to be the first feature-length Shakespeare adaptation, is a condensed retelling of the Machiavellian Richard III. To provide the requisite context for this historic cinematic work, we go over the real life history of the former King of England, the unique qualities and appeals of the original play, and how this silent variation engages with a text known for its poetic wordplay and witty asides. Preceding that is a discussion on the various Silent Films featured on the recently released Sight and Sound poll of the greatest films of all time. We look at which films still made the cut in the ten years since the last poll, and evaluate the merit of such lists while considering how much appreciation is represented for the first forty years of cinematic history. Silent Cinema in the 2022 Sight and Sound Poll: 00:00 - 27:13Feature Films, Shakespeare, and Richard III (1912) : 27:13 -1:12:14Many thanks to Graham Austin and Jack Davenport for the creation of our beautiful logo art and theme music respectively.

What makes a nasty woman? Is it her unwillingness to break to the stringent standards of patriarchy, her gameness to get rough, even abject? Or is it the way she reminds polite society that the sweet, gentle screen martyr (the nasty woman's counterpart) is a fiction too, as much a trick and a dupe as an exploding housemaid on celluloid? And what a surprise—and what a treat—to discover cinema's earliest days are among their nastiest. Coming from Kino Lorber this December, “this four-disc set showcase more than fourteen hours of rarely seen silent films about feminist protest, slapstick rebellion, and suggestive gender play. These women organize labor strikes, bake (and weaponize) inedible desserts, explode out of chimneys, electrocute the police force, and assume a range of identities that gleefully dismantle traditional gender norms and sexual constraints. The films span a variety of genres including slapstick comedy, genteel farce, the trick film, cowboy melodrama, and adventure thriller. Cinema's First Nasty Women includes 99 European and American silent films, produced from 1898 to 1926, sourced from thirteen international film archives and libraries, with all-new musical scores, video introductions, commentary tracks, and a lavishly illustrated booklet.” Host Annie Berke sits down with the curators of this set, Drs. Maggie Hennefeld and Laura Horak, and Ms. Elif Rongen-Kaynakçi, to discuss how this project came to be, the steps they took to ensure an anti-racist program, and if the “nasty woman” spirit lives on in the mediascape of the present. Maggie Hennefeld is Associate Professor of Cultural Studies & Comparative Literature and McKnight Presidential Fellow at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. She is author of Specters of Slapstick and Silent Film Comediennes (Columbia UP, 2018), co-editor of the journal Cultural Critique (UMN Press), co-editor of two volumes: Unwatchable (Rutgers UP, 2019) and Abjection Incorporated: Mediating the Politics of Pleasure and Violence (Duke UP, 2020).

What makes a nasty woman? Is it her unwillingness to break to the stringent standards of patriarchy, her gameness to get rough, even abject? Or is it the way she reminds polite society that the sweet, gentle screen martyr (the nasty woman's counterpart) is a fiction too, as much a trick and a dupe as an exploding housemaid on celluloid? And what a surprise—and what a treat—to discover cinema's earliest days are among their nastiest. Coming from Kino Lorber this December, “this four-disc set showcase more than fourteen hours of rarely seen silent films about feminist protest, slapstick rebellion, and suggestive gender play. These women organize labor strikes, bake (and weaponize) inedible desserts, explode out of chimneys, electrocute the police force, and assume a range of identities that gleefully dismantle traditional gender norms and sexual constraints. The films span a variety of genres including slapstick comedy, genteel farce, the trick film, cowboy melodrama, and adventure thriller. Cinema's First Nasty Women includes 99 European and American silent films, produced from 1898 to 1926, sourced from thirteen international film archives and libraries, with all-new musical scores, video introductions, commentary tracks, and a lavishly illustrated booklet.” Host Annie Berke sits down with the curators of this set, Drs. Maggie Hennefeld and Laura Horak, and Ms. Elif Rongen-Kaynakçi, to discuss how this project came to be, the steps they took to ensure an anti-racist program, and if the “nasty woman” spirit lives on in the mediascape of the present.

The Secret Movie Club Team (Connor Lloyd Crews, Edwin Gomez, Daniel Ott, and Craig Hammill) chips away at a mammoth conversation about the silent era of film and what we can learn from silent cinema! Craig loves F.W. Murnau's The Last Laugh. Daniel brings up the problems with how silent film is often introduced to people as an academic bore. Connor respects the Lon Chaney version of The Phantom of the Opera. Edwin drinks Strong Coke. There's also a lot of talk about the American education system and cinematic legacy. Apologies to Emily Brontë.
"It's the pictures that got small." - Billy Wilder's Sunset Boulevard This week, Mr. Chavez & I continue our descent into the ruthlessness, horror, and sadness of Hollywood - Billy Wilder's Sunset Boulevard (1950), a true classic of cinema and a film that continues to astonish audiences over 70 years later. With a young William Holden cementing his stature in cinema, and brilliant performances from Silent Cinema legends, Gloria Swanson as one of the most iconic characters of the silver screen, Norma Desmond, and her broken, loyal, and forgotten manservant and one-time director, the great Erich von Stroheim (both Academy Award nominated), this is a classic of the studio system and a film that only grows in power year after year. Ibrahim & I are thrilled to talk this film and are hoping that we are introducing it to a few new viewers. Take a listen and let us know what you think. Questions, Comments, Complaints, & Suggestions can be directed to gondoramos@yahoo.com. Many Thanks.
Segei Eisenstein's film Battleship Potemkin is often hailed as one of the best films ever made. It tells the story (based on a real-life incident) of the crew of a Russian battleship mutinying in 1905, leading to a bloody confrontation in the streets of Odessa.CinePunked gather to assess its value to a modern audience and pick apart the propeganda from the truth.
CinePunked's Robert JE Simpson is joined by Dr Paula Blair for a conversation around their responses to the experience of influential, Ukranian-born, avant garde filmmaker Maya Deren, with particular attention to her debut Meshes of the Afternoon, and At Land.
CinePunked's Robert and Rachael fight against the distorted reality of their own sleep deprivation for a conversation exploring the 1920 German Expressionist film classic The Cabinet of Dr Caligari - and its lasting impact on contemporary cinema and goth culture.

Are silent films simply the result of [b]unfortunate technical limitations[/b], which the medium luckily overcame - or are they a [b]unique style with its own merits[/b]. 2. Why did it take such a long time from the decline of silents to any kind of larger silent film project. 3. What do we wish to see from silent cinema in the future.

The Revenant: The James Brown Cut Silence! It's a bad idea for podcasts, but as the BFI are reminding us with their re-release of GW Pabst's pre-talkie classic "Pandora's Box", it's a good idea for movies. So how will this icon of silent cinema (and the decades-old inspiration for the hairstyles of people going to 1920s-themed costume parties), fare with modern film fans? Off the Shelf also has another classic from BFI as Aidan jogs along with their reissue of Tony Richardson's "The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Runner", which goes to to toe with Rob's coverage of Abdelletif Kechiche's forgotten film "Black Venus" - which is available from Arrow Academy. So it's a show full of archive rediscoveries, but the real comeback has been saved for the end ... Silent Cinema is a challenge but one that we will happily rise to. To help us laugh in the face of other podcasting challenges head over to our PATREON and send us some pennies. We would appreciate it and it is also the best way to support us and help us continue this podcasting lark long into the future.

Near the very end of the SIlent Era, just a month before Warner Bros. turned the film world upside down with The Jazz Singer, F. W. Murnau’s lyrical cinematic tone-poem Sunrise was released. It is appropriate that this film ushered out the era of purely visual film language, for they just couldn’t get much better or purer than this. For the uninitiated, we also discuss the world of the Silent Cinema in the first part of this broadcast. Besides being the first silent film we’ve discussed, this was also our first pre-recorded program.
In this episode of ScatterShot, Colin and Alan poke a stick at Trilogy of Terror, American Ultra, Gravey, He Never Died, Deadpool and Wer. Outstanding listener questions and a review of a past Silent Cinema event cap an eclectic episode.

With Kirsty Lang. Charles Sturridge, the director of the landmark TV series Brideshead Revisited, discusses his latest project, a TV adaptation of Daphne du Maurier's The Scapegoat, a tale of two identical looking men who swap lives. He also reflects on how television drama has changed since the days of Brideshead. Iraq war veteran Kevin Powers has drawn on his own experiences in his novel The Yellow Birds, the story of a young recruit sent to Iraq's Nineveh Province in 2004, and his struggle to adapt to civilian life on his return. Kevin reveals the frequently asked question that was the starting point for the book. Not since the invention of sound cinema have silent movies been so popular, partly due to the unexpected Oscar success of The Artist. This week sees two new films which pay homage to the silent era - Tabu, which has no dialogue in its last half hour and takes its name from a famous F W Murnau drama, and a Spanish adaptation of Snow White which looks like it's been made in the 1920s and not the 21st century. Historian Matthew Sweet and silent film accompanist and composer Neil Brand explain why we've learned to stop worrying and love silent cinema The Art of Chess is a new exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery which brings together 16 chess sets designed by some of the world's leading contemporary artists, including Jake and Dinos Chapman, Rachel Whiteread, Damien Hirst and Tim Noble and Sue Webster.
