There is a wealth of movies available from the so-called talkies era. The fundamentals of movie production were established well before Al Jolson came along. Names such as Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd, Fritz Lang are true pioneers of the entertainment we now take virtually for granted.
The festival is on in Sydney in September, gone for this year but still available in other cities. Keep it in mind for 2012!

The Silent Festival in Sydney is on late October, into November. I saw NO publicity! If you don't want anyone to attend, that's the right way to do it!
