A one minute clip from the silent film era of Charlie Chaplin entertaining four women using two forks and two dinner rolls as a kind of puppet to create a ballet of sorts. The action is set to classical music and is very funny - a great example of Ch...arlie Chaplin's humor. (1:02)

Before Leni Riefenstahl was a director and film maker, she was an actress who starred in several movies. One of her most talked-about acting performances was in the still-famous silent film, Piz Palu,* a mountain-climbing adventure directed by Georg... Wilhelm Pabst and Arnold Fanck. (8:22)
A segment of that film is featured in this clip, from "Cinema Europe: The Other Hollywood," a 1995 documentary by Kevin Brownlow and David Gill (regarding Europe's silent films). Kenneth Branagh is the narrator.

The set is of the interior of a bakery. A man in a baker's hat and costume enters and begins kneading some dough on a table by the oven. He notices a make-believe rat crawling up the side of a nearby barrel and throws the dough at the rat, covering i...t completely. He then goes over to the dough and begins to pummel it with his hands. His back is to the camera, which obscures the actual manipulation of the dough, but when he steps away there is now a sculptured mask to admire. He sculpts another mask, and two other men, also dressed as bakers, come in, see what he is doing, pick him up bodily, and stick him head first into the flour barrel

The Little Darling 1909 . The man's name is D. W. Griffith--David Wark Griffith--and his story is that of the period between 1908 and 1913 when he created a method of storytelling in purely cinematic terms that was to raise the moving picture permane...ntly out of the category of a scientific curiosity. (2:42)
This he did by the use of techniques that broke precedents and created a vocabulary of visual devices for the emergence of film as art as well as by the development of a stock company of actors and actresses with him at the American Mutuscope and Biograph Company in New York, who would later emerge as some of the greatest individual talents during the glory years of the Golden Age

A short fiction film I shot on super 8mm for a film class. The story is a tad brief in places, I had light meter problems at one point and some of the footage didn't turn out, so I had to rewrite some things. This is a modern day production in the s...lilent film genre.

Often referred to as "Fred Ott's Sneeze," this is is one of the world's e...arliest motion pictures and America's best known early film production. The star is Fred Ott, an Edison employee known to his fellow workers in the laboratory for his comic sneezing and other gags. This item was received in the Library of Congress on January 9, 1894, as a copyright deposit from Dickson.
