SUMMARY:Silent Clowns Film Series: The Vitagraph Film Co. Comedies\, at Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library
DESCRIPTION:Register \nBrooklyn’s own Vitagraph Film Company was one of the most important early American film studios. Making all kinds of silent pictures—melodramas\, historical epics\, and even Shakespeare adaptations—in the teens they had the market cornered on sophisticated situational comedies. Their best-remembered star is John Bunny\, but this program covers other players such as Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Drew\, Flora Finch\, Frank Daniels\, Hughie Mack and Edith Storey in Sweeney’s Christmas Bird (1914)\, Boobley’s Baby (1915)\, Jane’s Bashful Hero (1916)\, Captain Jenks’ Cure (1917)\, Bullies and Bullets(1917) and Damsels and Dandies (1919). \nThe Silent Clowns Film Series is New York’s longest-running regularly scheduled silent film showcase. Our programming reaches the serious film buff by including rarely-screened titles and rare prints\, yet it also introduces kids and new audiences to the classics of the silent screen. Screenings feature live piano accompaniment by MoMA’s Ben Model\, with an introduction and Q&A by film historians Model and Steve Massa. \nSEATING POLICY | Programs are free and open to all\, but registration is requested. Check-in line forms 45 minutes before the advertised start time. Registered guests are given priority check-in 15 to 30 minutes before start time.
