Tickets booked for special screening of the oldest surviving animated feature film, Lotte Reiniger's gorgeous Adventures of Prince Achmed, as the Filmhouse reopens this weekend.
1926 - nearly a century old, & being screened with live music. Wonderful.

Happy birthday, Harold Lloyd!
My dear dad made sure I was brought up in the Faith: plenty of Harold Lloyd, Buster Keaton, Laurel & Hardy, Tom & Jerry, and Bugs Bunny. He's been n his 80s now, and we still rewatch these together, and roar with laughter every time.

Tonight's contribution to what some would call "the greater good": a garland of bad critical calls from a pioneering film reviewer that I've titled "Robert E Sherwood Can't Win Them All".

Today marks the 130th anniversary of the birth of Conrad Veidt, great #German actor and anti-Nazi.
He was brilliant in silent movies (I love Weimar Cinema!) but also in #talkies too. He was limited in his speaking roles, once he left Germany, by his strong German accent however.
In the ‘Cabinet of Doctor Caligari’ he somehow has to make a zombie soulful.
