This site is dedicated to the preservation of memory of silent films. Although they were quite important in the evolution of cinema, they remain virtually forgotten nowadays. Since the best way to understand the present is taking an attentive look at the past, here you have some movies, pictures, interviews, etc. on silent cinema. Some occasional material on sound films will also be presented. I hope you enjoy getting to know a bit more about the beauty and sheer fun of these golden oldies.

The Nihilist - 1905
Country: United States
As a family is enjoying dinner together, the elderly father is suddenly arrested as a political offender. Tsarist officers imprison him and treat him brutally. With his family's appeals refused, he is sent to Siberia, and dies on the difficult journey. Three of his family members then join the Nihilists, swearing to gain vengeance regardless of the risk or cost.
