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: Films about Drugs or Substance Abuse
Yes the later technicolor short featured the Marijuana lyrics as well.
Anybody else know of any drug scenes or films that haven't been mentioned yet? I know there have to be a lot more out there....

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...
