I'm looking forward to attending the San Francisco Silent Film Festival for the second year in a row the weekend of July 16-18. Some of the highlights for me include
Rotaie, a late Italian silent directed by Mario Camerini, G.W. Pabst's
Diary of a Lost Girl starring the glorious Louise Brooks, and
The Woman Disputed, co-directed by Henry King and Sam Taylor and starring Norma Talmadge. These three and most of the other films in the festival will be screened in 35mm prints (an increasingly endangered species) at the indispensable Castro Theater, which I always return to with a sense of awe.
