1916 E2 - Louis Pelletier
From The 5 Best Films of Every Year Ever · 1:06:42
Show by Tristan Ettleman
Louis Pelletier, instructor of film history and film preservation at Université de Montréal, Université Laval, and Concordia University, once wrote of the industry’s evolving terminology of “photoplays,” “movies,” “films,” and more. The conversation opens with this distinction, itself reflective of the title and intent of this show, before turning to grand scale and smaller innovations in comedy and drama.Louis has published numerous articles on early and silent cinema, amateur cinema, film technology and film archives. He co-edited Tales from the Vaults: Film Technology over the Years and across Continents, Le cinéma dans l’œil du collectionneur, and Collecting Cinema, Rewriting Film History: Between the Visible and the Invisible.Visit the5bestfilmsofeveryyearever.com/list to submit your own top five for 1916!Mentioned media:The Dying Swan (1916) - Yevgeni BauerThe End of the World (1916) - August BlomThe Pawnshop (1916) - Charlie ChaplinThe Mystery of the Leaping Fish (1916) - John Emerson and Christy CabanneIntolerance (1916) - D.W.
