ABOUT THE FILMS:

“The Sheriff’s Baby,” 1913, Dir. D.W. Griffith, 17 Mins, Film Preservation Society, USA
Directed by D.W. Griffith, this deceptively simple one-reel Western tells the story of an outlaw unexpectedly entrusted with the care of an infant. Combining suspense, humor and genuine emotional depth, the film demonstrates Griffith’s extraordinary ability to create memorable characters and emotional complexity within a single reel.

FORMAT: DCP

SO THIS IS PARIS, 1926, Dir. Ernst Lubitsch, 68 Mins, Park Circus, USA

Monte Blue and Patsy Ruth Miller star as a happily married couple whose lives become delightfully entangled with flirtatious neighbors, mistaken identities and one of silent cinema’s most celebrated comic dance sequences. At the height of his Hollywood career, Lubitsch demonstrates the sophisticated wit and effortless elegance that became known as the “Lubitsch Touch,” balancing romance, satire and visual invention with remarkable precision. Still as witty and sophisticated today as when it premiered, SO THIS IS PARIS remains one of Lubitsch’s most irresistible comedies and a brilliant example of silent cinema at its most stylish.

FORMAT: 35mm
