TV Journal (49 tv items)

"This series functions like an intro to film class; each episode deals with introductory topics like directors or the star system. When I'm done, watch Los Angeles Plays Itself and Kevin Brownlw's European Silent film documentary. Episode 1 - The Pioneers King Vidor (The Crowd) made great observations; he said music was very important in silent films and silent films required complete attention, unlike talkies where people can look away. Silent films were aesthetically different from sound films"
