Did you know that over 75% of silent films have disappeared? The culprit: highly flammable film! We open this episode of Tiny Matters with a poker bet, a decades long grudge, and a garage full of film before we hop into the rise of nitrate (nitrocellulose) film and how it shaped film history. We chat with Robert Shanebrook, who literally wrote the book on Kodak film, and with collection manager Deborah Stoiber at the George Eastman Museum, the world's oldest photography museum and one of the oldest film archives. We talk about the science of preserving and conserving the nitrate films that have survived, and why it's so important for keeping cultural memories alive. Did you know that ‘George Eastman, Kodak, and the Birth of Consumer Photography' is a National Historic Chemical Landmark? Read more about it here.

Welcome to Movie Mandates, a review show in which sibling cinephiles Andrew and Keleigh force each other to watch movies according to a monthly theme! It's Silent Movies month and I'm kicking things off with the Buster Keaton classic, THE GENERAL, a wacky adventure based on an amazing true story from the American Civil War that dares ask the question, "What if we changed things so the protagonists were fighting on the side of monstrous racists?!" You'll thrill to Keaton's stunning stunt work and deft comedic touch but you won't be able to root for him! 0:00 - Trivial Trivia 12:35 - The General review 1:00:45 - Next episode's mandated movie We'll be back in two weeks with another mandated movie.

One of the unusual and sold out events in this year's Cork International Film Festival, was the cine-concert screening of a silent film, shot in Cork, with a live orchestra playing for its premier in the Curtis Auditorium of the Cork School of Music. The score was composed by John O Brien, and the film was directed by Padraig Trehy, who chatted to Conor Tallon - who'd also been in the movie!! Hosted on Acast.

In this episode I spoke with author Mark Archuleta about his boo; "The Reel Thrilling Events of Bank Robber Henry Starr: From Gentleman Bandit to Movie Star and Back Again". In 1921 headlines across the country announced the death of Henry Starr, a burgeoning silent film star who was killed while attempting to rob a bank in Harrison, Arkansas. Cynics who knew the real Starr were not surprised. Before becoming a matinee idol, Starr had been the greatest bank robber of the horseback bandit era.

Few people have contributed more to cinema and cinephilia in the last 50 years than Dave Kehr. He'd have some claim to this title solely as a major critical voice, his work remaining currency decades hence––just look at the popular Not Dave Kehr Letterboxd account for a symbol of his enduring prominence. As a film curator at the Museum of Modern Art, however, Kehr has emboldened one of the world's foremost cinema cultures with year-round programming that combines classic titles with far-flung finds. With the third edition of Silent Movie Week beginning at MoMA on July 30, I had the pleasure of speaking with Dave about their lineup, the major advancements made in digital restoration, a discussion of how exactly one puts together a series like this, and (lest you think this is all about my ego) why a presumption of mine was, in fact, incorrect. Plus: his pick––surprising to some, not to me––for the best film to premiere in recent years.

Old Hollywood and mysterious deaths seem to go hand in hand, whether it's the case of the Black Dahlia or the mysterious "suicides" of Marilyn Monroe and George Reeves. In the same vein as the mysterious suicides of the latter stars, comes the tale of the mysterious death of movie star Thelma Todd. It is a story that contains all the elements of a perfect Hollywood drama: fame, fortune, gangsters, love and betrayal. Was she murdered, did she die by accident or did she die at her own hand? Whatever the truth may be, her spirit is at unrest.

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.

The Merchant's House Museum at 29 East Fourth Street in Manhattan is a relic from the past making it a treasure in New York City. The house has stood for over 180 years and seen many changes to Manhattan, but one thing that hasn't changed is its interior. It is likely the only house in New York City with a fully preserved 19th-century interior. There are those who claim this is the most haunted house in Manhattan and many of the spirits belong to the family who lived in the house for generations, the Tredwells. Join us as we explore the history and hauntings of the Merchant's House Museum. The Moment in Oddity features jumping spiders dreaming and This Month in History features Cochise arrested.

The earliest forms of language were symbols and pictographs. Cuneiform symbols made up the earliest known languages of Sumerian and Akkadian. Egyptian hieroglyphs are considered the next oldest language. So for humans, symbols have always carried a high level of importance. Symbols can transcend time and culture and be interpreted by future generations. Although the meanings of symbols can change with time as well. Cemeteries are full of symbols and on this episode of Stones and Bones, we are going to share the meaning behind many of them.

We continue the laughs this week in our #HAHAugust episode. Polish your jokes and put on your suspenders as you take the mic at 1983's THE FUNNY FARM! Written and directed by Ron Clark in his debut after working with Mel Brooks on the scripts for HIGH ANXIETY and THE SILENT MOVIE, this stars Peter Aykroyd, Howie Mandel, and even more Canadian comics. The film follows a budding comedian (Miles Chapin) and a group of ambitious young comics as they strive to make it in the LA comedy scene, but only one can find a steady girlfriend and a club to work in after only one night in town (also Chapin). In this episode we are joined by special return guest Ali Davis, who you may remember from our previous episodes COVER GIRL MODELS, and GODZILLA 1985. Laugh with us as we learn about improv for dogs, debate if strip clubs have bathrooms, and reminisce about each of our cross-country drives.

[School of Movies 2024] This is a commissioned show for Chris Finik. And unlike the marketing for this straight-to-Hulu film our show is going to be a little more mysterious about the details, because it definitely was worth going in completely ignorant like we did. I even made some arresting artwork for this episode to better convey that this is not your regular thriller. If you have Disney+ that's your evening. It's a silent movie, and I say that as A Quiet Place: Day One is doing quite well in theatres, and having watched the Mel Brooks comedy "Silent Movie" (1976) only last night. It keeps us, the audience in a state of tense, breathless isolation along with intense and extremely compelling leading lady Kaitlyn Dever (Booksmart, Justified, Dear Even Hansen) as Brynn. Directed by Brian Duffield, writer of The Babystitter (2017) and its sequel, both of which we liked, along with Love and Monsters (2020) an under-watched Lockdown gem on Netflix. This gentleman is one to watch.

Click here to try it out!Welcome back to Bad Dads Film Review! Today, we're exploring the serene and beautifully poignant world of The Red Turtle (2016). This animated fantasy drama, a co-production between Studio Ghibli and Dutch-British animator Michaël Dudok de Wit, stands out as a unique cinematic experience that eschews dialogue to tell a deeply human story through stunning visuals and emotive sounds.The Red Turtle explores the life of a man who becomes stranded on a deserted island. The narrative unfolds through his attempts to escape the island, which are repeatedly thwarted by a mysterious red turtle. The film transitions into a deeper exploration of the man's life as he comes to terms with his isolation and eventually, finds companionship.The film is less about conventional storytelling and more about the cycle of life, relationships, and the human connection to nature. The man's interactions with the red turtle lead him through various phases of life, reflecting broader themes such as acceptance, companionship, and the inevitability of life's changes.Why It Stands OutNo Dialogue: The Red Turtle tells its story without a single line of dialogue, relying instead on the power of its visuals and a compelling score to convey emotion and narrative progression.Animation Style: The animation is simplistic yet profoundly expressive, blending realistic landscapes with a minimalist character design that captures the essence of each emotion and action without the need for words.Philosophical Depth: The film delves into existential themes through its symbolic use of the turtle and the natural surroundings, prompting audiences to reflect on life's transitions and the interconnectivity of all things.At its heart, The Red Turtle is about survival not just physically but emotionally and spiritually. It explores how companionship and acceptance of the natural flow of life can lead to profound fulfillment, even in isolation.For fans of animation and poignant storytelling, The Red Turtle is a must-watch for its ability to convey complex human emotions and narratives without words. It's a testament to the power of visual storytelling and a beautiful example of how art can transcend language to touch the human spirit.So, join us as we explore the quiet beauty and deep thematic currents of The Red Turtle. Whether you're a Studio Ghibli aficionado or a newcomer to animated art films, this film promises a meditative and visually captivating experience that lingers long after the screen goes dark.
