Tales from the Silent Office: Le Giornate del Cinema Muto

Still from When a Man Loves, Alan Crosland, 1927. (George Eastman House)
Tomorrow, most of the Silent Office will fly off to Italy for THE silent film event of the year: Le Giornate del Cinema Muto, or the Pordenone Silent Film Festival!

It's simply "Pordenone" to those in the know, the academics, archivists, collectors, musicians, critics, and cinephiles of every stripe who gather in the Verdi theatre each October for a week of screenings, scholarship, and connection with their far-flung colleagues.

SFSFF Artistic Director Anita Monga and Executive Director Stacey Wisnia will be sending me dispatches from this wonderland of silent film over the next few days, and I will share them with you. Let's try not to be too jealous! After all, they always return with one of the famous Pordenone catalogs—full of fascinating essays and news on the latest discoveries about our silent-film heritage—and, of course, loaded with inspiration and ideas for our own festival coming up in May.

If you want to torture yourself, click here for the full Pordenone festival schedule and here to feast your mind on this year's catalog. I can't wait to add it to our library!
