<p>Silent film is more than just a cinema of firsts, greats, or classics. It is a cinema of experimentation, ambition, and connection. To watch a silent film is to be transported into another world. <i> A Silent Film Companion </i>seeks to broaden the silent film canon by focusing on compelling non-canonical films from around the globe to provide a fresh perspective and new view of silent cinema. With over 50 films discussed, this volume captures just a sliver of the many delights silent cinema has to offer. The book encourages discovery, and rediscovery, of the world of silent cinema: one where the movies were still young, full of possibility, eager to entice others to take part in a wonderful adventure. Films covered are from fourteen countries, including Brazil, Mexico, China, Cuba, India, Italy, and Russia, and representing a diversity of subjects. Chapters provide historical and cultural context to each film, the filmmakers, and a concise analysis of each film. <i>A Silent Film Companion </i>is a guidebook to the many pleasures of silent cinema, allowing you to see and understand diverse perspectives. It is a must read for students and fans of silent cinema interested in seeing a side of silent cinema that is rarely explored.</p>
