Silent Films are such overlooked pieces of art...here in San Francisco we have the Silent Film festival but it is a genere that not too many young or youngish people are interested in...it's hard enough to get anyone who was born after 1977 interested in films from before that year...god forbid if you watch what used to be called "classic films" or show them in the theatre...that theatre will never be filled.
