We now live in a time when we can easily see many thousands of films from the entire history of cinema. In the 1920's, motion pictures just started to mature and become very popular. So, let's see what audiences saw a century ago. Join me in screening 100-year-old motion pictures in traditional film festival format. We'll screen Buster Keaton's masterpiece The General (1926), plus other great films.
