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.

Greetings! I'm currently in Rotterdam, working on a 16mm city symphony film with local youth. I'd love to find out more about the source of the above film... Any information you can provide is much appreciated!

Hi Lisa,
ReplyDeleteYou might want to contact EYE in Amsterdam, I believe they hold the original copy of this film.
Good luck.
