Streaming silents

Post by Arndt » Sat Jun 12, 2021 1:41 am

Rather than start a new thread for every silent film newly (and maybe briefly) available online, I thought I'd start one to cover multiple such discoveries and events.
Let me start it off with a right corker:
Ernst Lubitsch's ROMEO UND JULIA IM SCHNEE (Romeo and Juliet in the snow) from 1920 is available online on Youtube until 15 June here:

The screening formed part of the initiative "1700 years of Jewish life in Germany". Mark Pogolski wrote the accompanying music, which is performed by an ensemble from the Munich Academy of Theatre and Music.

The Dutch archive EYE Film keep posting interesting films from their holdings. Three recent ones might be of particular interest.

SUZANNE from 1916, starring Suzanne Grandais

OUT OF THE DARKNESS from 1915, starring Thomas Meighan

Both of these films have Dutch intertitles.

A MODERN MONTE CRISTO from 1917, starring Virginia Deane

This one has English titles.
