If the circus stunts and performances look particularly well down it’s b/c actual circus, side show and vaudeville performers were hired for those parts and as stand-ins and stunt doubles for the main cast

Director Ewald André Dupont would go on to remake “Variety” 1925) as the highly successful, 1931 talkie “Salto Mortale”

Sorry about how weirdly placed the intertitle cards are for “Variety” (1925). This is the only version with english intertitles AND a score that’s not annoying or nonexistent
#SilentFlickerSunday #Variety #Variete

Now that we’ve gotten through some romance, it’s time for a mysterious Feature Presentation: “Varieté” AKA “Variety” (1925) (https://youtu.be/dV9luHT_7q8?is=xHf61o9_Ojqr3SuN), a German Expressionist crime drama directed by Ewald Andre Dupont

First up, “The Soul of the Cypress” (1921) (https://youtu.be/orMJkxyEJ-I?is=xmrWANzH-_nVKgU4), one of the first American narrative-based, avant-garde short films. It’s directed by American writer, filmmaker and actor Dudley Murphy and is based on the Myth of “Orpheus”

Thanks for tuning in! Always great getting to share #SilentFilm with y’all. Next week we’ll have mystery AND romance!.. until then, stay safe & outta the heat, #SilentFlickerSunday friends💕

Just gonna level with y’all.. as a photosensitive epileptic, I’ve never actually seen any Peter Tscherkassky’s work so.. if you’re prone to photosensitivity DO NOT WATCH. COME BACK IN 10 MINUTES OR SO
#SilentFlickerSunday #PeterTscherkassky

I chose to feature non-Silent era #SilentFilm this go around of #SilentFlickerSunday to show that while most films are talkies nowadays, great silent films are still being made

Next up, Austrian artist Peter Tscherkassky’s 2005 “Instructions for a Light & Sound Machine” (https://youtu.be/5YSPJuRigQE?is=5kWpITi0Er4ZN1D1) -a #SilentFilm constructed from Sergio Leon’s 1967 spaghetti western “The Good,The Bad&The Ugly”

Very glad evil totalitarian governments that host human blood sport spectacles for the masses is just something that happens in Argentine dystopian #SilentFilm and never in real life
#SilentFlickerSunday #LaAntena

BTW the cinematography & choreography for The Voice is particularly well done & sexy b/c Esteban Sapir was the director for a lot of Shakira’s music and concert videos in the late 90s-mid 00s
#SilentFlickerSunday #LaAntena #EstebanSapir

“La Antena”’s script is a mere 60pgs long VS 130pgs average for a feature film. Despite taking 11 weeks to film, post-production took over a year. It’s influenced by the #SilentFilm work of George Méliès, Fritz Lang, Sergei Eisenstein & German expressionism
#SilentFlickerSunday #LaAntena

For anyone who’s lost:
1) everyone has lost their voice
2) there’s only one media channel that’s run by evil totalitarian overlords (and possibly only one manufacturer of TV Dinners as well??)+ steampunk-ish mass surveillance
3) METAPHORS
#SilentFlickerSunday #LaAntena

Society is well and truly fucked when evil media mega conglomerates run by oligarchs also own food companys
#SilentFlickerSunday #LaAntena

Now our feature presentation: “La Antena” directed by Argentine cinematographer Esteban Sapir (https://youtu.be/nJjyoUeUIqw?is=k-UuDff1KxF3WCO7) There’s are some small bits of Spanish in this but I’m pretty sure it’s got english subtitles/is simple enough to follow
#SilentFlickerSunday #LaAntena #EstebanSapir #SilentFilm

Sadly, I couldn’t find any info on the female actress in “Accidentally” (1968) but whoever she is, she’s very compelling. I can’t take my eyes off of her
#SilentFlickerSunday #Ouran #Accidentally #JohnWoo

Next we have “Ouran” AKA “Accidentally” (1968) (https://youtu.be/y-UXuE3AjWU?is=MkbRK6VjnSGLmBC_) an early student film directed, written and starring Hong Kong auteur John Woo. There’s a few intertitles but you can get the action & plot of the film without them
#SilentFlickerSunday #Ouran #Accidentally #JohnWoo

Apologies to anyone who wanted to sleep at any point in time after tonight’s #SilentFlickerSunday

First up we have “Jefferson Circus Songs” (1973) (https://youtu.be/MEfkcnObnus?is=GWdJdjjJjBDja3Ki) written by American multi-media artist Suzan Pitt.. there’s really no way to prepare y’all for this so yeah🤐
