The article mentions film clips, so I guess it's technically o.k. to post a "Silent Screenings" folder:

Here's the text:

"ATLANTA, Ga., (November 15, 2011) — Kevin Brownlow, film historian, filmmaker and Academy Award recipient, presents the lecture “My Life with Napoleon (1927)” Dec. 1, 8 p.m. in White Hall 207 on the Emory campus. Using film clips, he will discuss his restoration on a lifelong project to return Abel Gance’s film, “Napoleon,” to its original form, including the dramatic Polyvision triptych finale. His complete restoration of the legendary “Napoleon” will have its long-awaited U.S. premiere this spring at the San Francisco Silent Film Festival, with a live orchestral score composed and conducted by Carl Davis. The Dec. 1 presentation, followed by a reception, is free and open to the public. Event details at arts.emory.edu.

Brownlow has spent a career restoring silent films and championing the work of past cinematic masters. In November 2010, he received an Honorary Award from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences “for the wise and devoted chronicling of the cinematic parade.” As the Academy noted, “few film historians” receive such recognition."
