"This was an excellent lecture by Maggie Hennefeld, Laura Horak, Elif Rongen-Kaynakçı aka The Nasty Women Collective which highlighted the tremendous importance of costume in the act of creating the chaos of comedy...I hadn’t expected to be so fascinated in the subject but that’s education for you."

From Pompei to the sea bed via confused parents and others in denial. And, blessed are the costume designers with their help we can smash the patriarchy! Day Six at Le Giornate del Cinema Muto.

A poignant day in Pordenone at Le Giornate del Cinema Muto - dominated by the Great War and all points afterwards. But we also saw Musidora, Betty Balfour and Leontine!!

A night in Le Giornate del Cinema Muto that I won't forget silentlondon.co.uk/2025/10/08/l...

It may seem that the Giornate is in its own bubble, a hundred years or more removed from the real world, wrapped up in the fashions and the fads of the past. But we’re still looking out at th…

Kemi is genuinely a fool.

40. Origins of the Israel-Palestine Conflict

PaulAJoyce @paulajoyce.bsky.social · 2d

Just catching up on the Balfour Declaration prior to tonight’s “Palestine - A Revised Narration” at Le Giornate del Cinema Muto. “Revised” versus historical consensus of political view points? This is an historical challenge.

Day four of Le Giornate del Cinema Muto brought a return to East Lynne and a visit to the women of Chaplinland. silentlondon.co.uk/2025/10/08/l...

Last night I dreamt I went to East Lynne again… Ellen Wood is directing my subconscious now. I love this mini melodrama strand and I really enjoyed today’s instalment, which was the lavish 1925 Fox…

Is it still a pathetic fallacy even if the weather is true but the drama is not? As I set out to begin my day with some major melodrama, there was heavy weather in the skies above Pordenone also. W…

There were a few! I’d seen it before so just tried to follow what I could… very wordy subtitles and the use of classic German fonts did not help!
