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.

Bargain Day -14th Street, New York - 1905
Summary:
This short film captured throngs of shoppers crowding into the Rothschild Co. five and dime store in one of the busiest shopping districts in the city. Actuality films such as this turned bargain day and other new experiences of urban life into spectacles to be consumed by movie audiences.
