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.

Our New Errand Boy (Williamson Kinematograph Company, 1905)
This incredibly rare film from the British film concern The Williamson Kinematograph Company, runs nearly 6 minutes, and is one of only a handful of films saved from that period. It is the story of a mischievous errand boy, sent out on a delivery, who causes havoc in the streets of the city of Hove. When he arrives back at the shop, he finds all his furious victims are already there complaining to the grocer...and the chase is on!
Cast:
James Williamson: Grocer
Tom Williamson: Errand Boy
Directed by James Williamson.
