I came across this website the other day -- has anyone had any success here? Maybe I'm just unable to link up with the links on my computer...

Hi, everyone. Just thought I'd mention that I had the chance to see two superb silent films by Mauritz Stiller at Kino Arsenal here in Berlin over the past few days. The prints they showed were from the Swedish Film Institute, so I assume these are the restored versions that are also available on DV...

I searched the "Treasures from Film Archives" database for films featuring Ossi Oswalda, and 19 titles came up. There may be more out there somewhere (for instance, Meyer aus Berlin is not listed). Here are the films in alphabetical order, as they appeared in the database (title, director,...

Thanks for the tips, Ann Harding (Christine, right?). I'll keep an eye out for those; seeing Mozzukhin in this film has definitely made me interested to see more! I'm very fortuante that Kino Arsenal here in Berlin is programming a whole slate of early films this month. I was very glad to have had t...

Last night I saw PIKOVAYA DAMA (1916), a Russian film adaptation of the Pushkin story (translated: The Queen of Spades). The film stars Ivan Mozzukhin, who was a major star in Russia, and internationally renowned as well. I especially enjoyed the beginning of the film, as the back-story of the Count...

I had the chance to see a couple of films last night starring Henny Porten, who was one of the top female stars of early German cinema. PERLEN BEDEUTEN TRÄNEN (translated: "Pearls signify tears"; 1911) is a fairly conventional story of an officer and his wife. The officer's mother sends a ...

Hello again, everyone, it's been a while since I've checked in. I'm living in Berlin (Germany) now until next summer, and am excited about the silent film screenings that are taking place here in the city. Last night I went to see DAS CABINET DES DR. CALIGARI at the "babylon" theatre. I ha...

The French/German television network "arte" will be premiering six short films on June 30, starting at 23.55h (11:55 pm). According to the website, this is the first televised showing of these rare films, which have been recently restored by Filmmuseum München, Filmmuseum Amsterdam, and th...

I watched a great film this evening called CONRAD IN QUEST OF HIS YOUTH , starring Thomas Meighan and directed by William DeMille. Here's the review I submitted to the IMDb: Conrad (Thomas Meighan) is suffering a mid-life crisis. Having just returned to his native England after a military position i...

I wonder if this will be the first screening of the recently re-discovered King Vidor film:

The Pordenone Silent Film Festival will take place October 4-11, 2008, in Pordenone, Italy.

Thanks, Nancy, for the warm welcome -- I'm glad to be here! Especially since I recognize some old acquaintances in the room...

Hello, charliechaplinfan!
Boujour, Ann Harding!
Hej, Synnove!

Thanks for the link, Ann!

I've read high praise for this film (besides yours, that is), and look forward to seeing it someday soon. And I'm especially looking forward to the French titles!

This looks like a great DVD -- do you know if it has been relased only in France, or elsewhere in Europe as well?

(By the way, hello again -- I remember you from another message board! )

Hello, everyone -- this is my first post here... Last night I watched Ernst Lubitsch's MADAME DUBARRY (1919) on the European channel "arte." It was the first time I had seen this film, and I was quite impressed (and even more pleased that I stayed awake even to the very end). The restorati...
