Based on post #418 below, Kino is planning a 24 April release of Der heilige Berg (1926), directed by Arnold Fanck and starring Leni Riefenstahl, to be followed on 1 May by The Half-Breed and The Good Bad Man (both 1916), a double feature with Douglas Fairbanks, both directed by Allan Dwan.

Re: More silents from Kino
Aren't the Fairbanks titles already in release?
A friend recorded them for me off of TCM a few years ago. I thought their broadcast was tied in with a DVD and or Blu Ray release.

DER HEILIGE BERG (THE HOLY MOUNTAIN) was released on DVD by Kino sometime back (early-2000s?).George O'Brien wrote:Aren't the Fairbanks titles already in release?

The Fairbanks titles have never been on DVD as far as I know. THE HALF BREED was shown on TCM back in 2015. I remember it being a good film, but not really a "Fairbanks film" as we typically know them from this period. I was impressed with Alma Rubens' performance, Allan Dwan's direction, and the photography was quite lovely.
I think THE GOOD BAD MAN aired on TCM around the same time too. Very much a "straight" Western. And Bessie Love was adorable in this one.

Both The Half-Breed and The Good Bad Man were recently restored and shown at the San Francisco Silent Film Festival. Presumably, Kino is releasing these restorations (and very good they are, too).

I'm glad for THE HALF-BREED and THE GOOD BAD MAN, but I'd be happier for MR. FIX-IT.
Re: More silents from Kino
I hope THE MAN FROM PAINTED POST turns up too. We could also use re-dos of all the films in the old Flicker Alley Fairbanks box, as a chunk of those are pretty pixelated. I'd still like to know what happened to the transfers in that set.
