We are proud to be co-presenting Victor Schertzinger’s "Forgotten Faces" (1928) at the San Francisco Silent Film Festival’s Day of Silents, Saturday, December 2 at San Francisco’s Castro Theatre. FNF prez Eddie Muller will be introducing the film.

Heliotrope Harry (Clive Brook) and Froggy (William Powell) are partners in crime—genteel armed robbery—at least until the cuckolded Harry commits an even bigger offense. Before Harry goes to prison, he leaves his baby girl on the doorstep of a wealthy couple to keep her out of the clutches of his no-good wife Lilly (Olga Baclanova) and tasks Froggy with keeping close tabs. But Froggy is no match for Lill. Live musical accompaniment will be performed by the Sascha Jacobsen Ensemble. Tickets are available at the SFSFF’s website https://silentfilm.org/ados-2023-schedule/

Please use promocode NOIR to receive $2 off the cost of your ticket. While you’re there be sure to check out the other five screenings on the schedule.

San Francisco Silent Film Festival Opens July 12 with a “Swashbuckler.”

As France is currently struggling with violent social turmoil on the streets of Paris, it’s perhaps unusually fitting that the 26th annual San Francisco Silent Film

Festival opens on July 12 with the 1929 classic “The Iron Mask.”

From the musings of philosophers like Voltaire and literary works of writers like Alexander Dumas, the political and social atmosphere of France has always been frothed and complex, and few stories express it so rivetingly as the legend of “the man in the iron mask,” upon which both Voltaire and Dumas got their inspiration. And from which, the 1929 film is loosely based.

Initially released as a sequel to the 1921 hit "The Three Musketeers,” the film “The Iron Mask” was also swashbuckling actor Douglas Fairbanks’ ��goodbye’ to the genre that had made him a major star as “talking pictures” took hold.

Mostly his departure was due not so much to the advent of “talkies” as it was to Fairbanks’ declining health. Live music to accompany “The Iron Mask” will be by the Guenter Buchwald Ensemble with Masaru Koga on saxophone, and Frank Bockius on percussion.

Film historian Jeffery Vance will introduce the film at the festival’s Wednesday opening at 7:00 PM at the Castro Theater.

The Castro Theater is one of the last remaining movie theaters in the United States of the silent film era.

SFSFF key staff will be present at the opening such as Artistic Director Anita Monga, Executive Director Stacey Wisnia, Senior Film Restorer Kathy Rose O’Regan. Also attending the Opening Night event will be Patrick Stanbury, representing Photoplay of London, whose team is responsible for the recent digital restoration of “The Iron Mask.”

The largest and most prestigious festival devoted to silent film in the Americas, SFSFF this year will present twenty-three programs, all with live musical accompaniment, including fifteen recent film restorations.

Seven of those restorations will make their North American premieres at the festival—among which are three SFSFF projects.

Just like today, the early days of film was something that fascinated people from all walks of life. Even back then, more than 100 years ago, people in many places made films. It wasn’t just in the United States.

Seven countries are represented at this year’s festival with films from Czechoslovakia, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, & Soviet Ukraine.

More than 30 extraordinary musicians from around the world will be accompanying the screenings.

The Musicians include:

Wayne Barker (US), Frank Bockius (Germany), Guenter Buchwald (Germany), Stephen Horne (UK), Masaru Koga (US), Utsav Lal (UK), Will Lewis (US), Ben Model (US), the Mont Alto Motion Picture Orchestra (US), Maud Nelissen (Netherlands), and the Sascha Jacobsen Quartet (Argentina/US).

Also, this year’s SFSFF 2023 is dedicated to the memories of SFSFF cofounder Stephen Salmons and longtime board member Russell Merritt.

When founders Melissa Chittick and Stephen Salmons put on the first San Francisco Silent Film Festival 26 years ago in 1996, 1,800 people attended the one-day, three-film event.

Over the years, annual attendance at SFSFF events has grown to more than 25,000 with dozens of seldom seen films screened.

With five days of programs from the festival opening on July 12 to the closing on July 16, movie fans of all kinds will be entertained and amazed at the mastery of the early days of filmmaking; and will no doubt see how much the pioneers of film helped pave the way for the “blockbuster” HD “special effects” movies we enjoy today.

Hace algún tiempo recordé la página tusecreto y volví a meterme, ahora hay secretos que son alfanuméricos y no los entiendo para nada, intuyo que se pueden revelar alguna foto o vídeo en la página web correcta, no es que me importe mucho pero es una novedosa forma de pasar nudes a desconocidos dfdfdfs

Últimamente me he sentido en paz conmigo mismo pero a la vez siento que me estoy encerrando más, de hecho me descargue está app boo para socializar y es casi como tinder solo que me bonito y hay que pagar sfsffs pero siento que me las hice para complacerme a mi mismo de que estoy haciendo algún tipo de cambio en mi mismo pero si no le hablo a nadie ni menos le doy like o solicitud de amistad, que cambio es ese?

Siempre pienso "quisiera volver al pasado con mis recuerdos intactos" pero después pienso lo único que cambiaría sería mi actitud frente a ciertas cosas o pensamientos o "amigos" que tuve con el pasar del tiempo, hay algunos que me encantaria ver en estar en igualdad de condiciones y sacarle la ctm pero supongo que me puedo conformar que en otro universo alternativo si lo hice

En insta me han salido un montón de Reels de boxeo y me animan caleta a aprender y usar el saco que tengo acumulando polvo pero ese ánimo dura 10, 20 mom y se va, creo que no tengo compromiso para esas cosas

Cuando llevo mucho escribiendo de lo que me pasa o pienso me da por parar ya que pienso "para que escribir, si nadie lo leerá?" , quiero dejar de pensar eso , al final y al cabo está es mi especie de terapia ya que no pienso pagarle a alguien que me analiza y de un consejo, para eso mejor le paso a alguien mi Tumblr y que saque sus propias conclusiones

Quiero volver a ver a ver muchas personas, saber de su vida mientras comemos papitas fritas pero luego recuerdo que se fueron por mi culpa y se me pasa ssfsfs

Me gustaría algún día pasar por una puertaa todas las personas que conocí en mi vida y ellos me recuerden quienes eran porque hoy en día si veo a alguien no recuerdo quién es menos si es de mi pasado porque quisiera esto? No sé, siento que sería lindo ver a cuántos he conocido a lo largo de mi vida osea tengo 30 , si es poquito pero bastante para mí después de todo, no espere vivir tanto siempre pensé que moriría trágicamente porque? No sé

Creo que ya comencé a hablar tonterías mejor me detengo aquí y me despido

Buenas noches lector

Mary Mallory / Hollywood Heights: Silent Films’ Broad Range on Display at San Francisco Festival

While the recently concluded 27th SFSFF moved from the beautiful vintage Castro Theatre to a new barnlike structure adjacent to the remaining structure from the 1915 Panama Pacific Intl. Exposition, it once again featured diverse programming offering an emotional, humanistic punch. Covering such themes as pirates, alienation and anxiety, damaged individuals, the end of life, and glimpses of the…

The street smells like Hot Cookie cookies, Castro Coffee Company, and faintly popcorn, perhaps? Queuing at one of the great show places of the art of cinema for @sfsilentfilm . I took the day off to luxuriate in my favorite building in the city, which I haven't been inside since the pandemic, and to make sure I heard Dr. Philip Carli, the house accompaniest at @drydentheatre , work his magic. I was so spoiled as a Selznick Student getting to hear him accompany silent films regularly. #sfsff2022 #sfsff #castrotheatre (at Castro Theatre) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdWMzbtplOP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Mi trabajo me queda a 30 min de mi casa y entro a las 9 , ahora porque las alarmas tan temprano? Es una buena pregunta hace unos semanas me encontré a un ex compañero de universidad que literal era el típico flaco y cuando lo ví dios mío , estaba mamadisimo era un personaje de dragón ball en físico sfsffs. Me comentó que este cambio surgió después de un quiebre sentimental y se dió cuenta que era débil aún recuerdo sus palabras "naces solo , mueres solo y al ser hombre tienes que pelear solo, aún soy débil de aquí (apuntado su cabeza) pero soy mas fuerte que antes y tú?" Yo solo me callé y lo miré. El se quedó callado , saco su celu , me pidió el mío , se lo pase y me mandó mil y un fotos de rutinas , consejos , comidas saludables y faciles, de hecho aún no reviso todo. No sé si esto es mi desarrollo de personaje pero si espero que a fin de año sea más fuerte que ahora
