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.

Westinghouse Works - Girls taking time checks 1904
Nearly 200 girls clock out from their jobs at Westinghouse in 1904. I love how a few of them give shy glances towards the camera, while others giggle girlishly before hurrying away, and a couple briefly ham it up.
No sound.
