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.

La nouvelle bonne (1908, France)
This is a video transfer I made from a Pathé Baby film. The only clue to the origin was the name beneath the end title : mr.Z.Rollini.
Z. Louis Rollini was a filmwriter who wrote many films in different genres between 1908 and 1918. His brother was the famous french pioneer director Ferdinand Zecca. Rollini worked amongst others together with star comedian Max Linder.
