Help identifying film frames

Can anyone identify the films or serials in these film frames? I've been told it is possibly more than one silent era film from some sort of unlabeled compilation reel...thanks https://i.ibb.co/1Kgpc8d/6.jpg https://i.ibb.co/BVRKbgj/7.jpg https://i.ibb.co/4PjVRGc/2.jpg https://i.ibb.co/v4hpgrj/3.jpg...

Re: Looking for content from "Human Wreckage" (1923)...

Below I've compiled a selection of stills from the film. If anyone knows where these originally appeared it would be an immense help. Many look to be taken from books or press books... *Edit* Top right one is in the Kevin Brownlow book https://preview.ibb.co/n320dw/human_wreckage_stills_to_find.jpg

Re: Looking for content from "Human Wreckage" (1923)...

Thank you both. I'll check at Margaret Herrick library, and yes, I have the Kevin Brownlow book.

I'd like to find this 32 page pressbook... Anybody have or know where to find?

Films about Drugs or Substance Abuse

I'm working on a project that looks at how drugs have been portrayed throughout the history of film. For the silent films, I was wondering if we could start a list of films that either tackle substance abuse and drug addiction, or mention drugs (even if it is briefly!). I've started a list below, pl...

Re: Please Help Identify this Silent Film

Does anyone know where I could get a hold of good copies of Pathé's Bigorno Fume l'Opium (1914) and Pathe's Pillole portentose (1910)? I don't think they have been officially released.

Re: Please Help Identify this Silent Film

Has anyone ever ordered from KinoZon.tv? I see them listed there, but it looks like they have a lot of titles that I thought were lost films. Like Edison's Chinese Opium Den from 1894. How can that be? Is this site too good to be true? http://kinozon.tv/poisk.php?toSearch=opium&page=2" target="_blan...

Looking for Sunrise Silents "The Vortex"

I'm looking to buy the Sunrise Silents release of 'The Vortex (1928)' or at least a exact 1:1 copy of the dvd-r. I need the version that he released that was in NTSC format NOT the pal one.

Thanks for the help....
