Abstract
A 90 minute lecture with film extracts. Introduced by Colin Shindler.
The silent era was the richest in the cinema’s history. Every visual advance (except CGI ) was invented before talkies. This presentation will show the astonishingly rapid advance from the single-shot films of 1893 to the monumental epics of the 1920s.
