Sadly, there’s no #SilentFilm or transitional sound films on this week’s TCM schedule until next week’s #SilentSundayNight which will have the Jackie Coogan dramedy “The Rag Man” (1928)

Mary Pickford: Canada's 'America's Sweetheart' 🇨🇦🌟

Although known as 'America's Sweetheart,' Mary Pickford was born Gladys Louise Smith in Toronto! She was one of the first great stars of the silent film era and a co-founder of the United Artists film studio. Her Canadian heritage is often overlooked! 🇨🇦 #Canada #MaryPickford #CanadianActress #SilentFilm #Hollywood

I was in the Castro Theater for the first time in a looong time (last time was pre-pandemic; I think for Fantasia?) yesterday, for the SF #SilentFilm festival's Amazing Tales from the Archives.
I never knew that early Danish and German cinema produced so many action movies. Lots of chases on top of moving trains :)

This is a power supply for a 16mm projector (ours use arc lights and that takes a lot of juice). This one failed during a show a week ago (thanks to a spare, and a quick-thinking volunteer, we got things up and running again in only a few minutes).
I had a scheduled visit with my "projector sensei" in San Rafael today, and I really prefer to get there by train+bike+ferry. This thing's heavy but in a backpack it's ok. I'm not going to try carrying a projector on my back though!
Anyway, the issue was a burnt out bridge rectified, and I'm happy to say this it's fixed and on it's way home.
If you want to read up on what this part does: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diode_bridge

Now showing on the #criterionchannel : “Lumière Le Cinema”. 130 year old 50 second films by the Lumière bros. that show how the art of film got its start. Beautifully restored & shown at natural speed with a narrative that ties it all together. We live at a special time: Pick a year from 1895 to now & you can see images of how real people lived. Amazing. A critic at the time these came out said, “…death is not absolute anymore.” #movies #film #cinema #silentfilm
