Film The San Francisco Silent Film Festival 2007 Winter Event

  • Flesh_and_the_devil_large

Nothing warms a cinephile's heart like a packed house at the Castro for a few beautiful prints of silent movies. The annual San Francisco Silent Film Festival has become enough of a draw that its organizers are teasing July's main event with a winter triple-feature. First up is a rare program of Vitaphone vaudeville shorts, the earliest sound films. Next is D.W. Griffith's three-hour, continent- and history-spanning epic Intolerance (1916) (which Dave Kehr dubbed "the Ulysses of the cinema"), and the night finishes with headliner Flesh and the Devil (1926), a lascivious melodrama in the key of Garbo.
