"Over the span of two decades, the San Francisco Silent Film Festival (Sfsff) has transformed itself from a one-day, three-film event into the second most prestigious silent movie showcase in the world," writes Michael Hawley at the top of his extensive overview. Featured in the 20th edition opening today are "Pauline Kael's all-time favorite film (the 1926 French short Ménilmontant), Harold Lloyd's last silent picture (Speedy) and Frank Capra's first sound film (The Donovan Affair, whose lost soundtrack will be recreated by live actors). The roster of high-profile guests includes Kevin Brownlow, Serge Bromberg and Leonard Maltin." We're gathering previews of highlights including Andre Antoine’s The Swallow and the Titmouse, Lewis Milestone's All Quiet on the Western Front, William Gillette's Sherlock Holmes and more. » - David Hudson...
