Silent Movie Day Program: The History of Silent Comedy

I’m trying something different to celebrate Silent Movie Day this year. I’ve put together an eight-film program you can watch from the comfort of your own home that tracks the evolution of screen comedy from the Lumiere Brothers first comedies to the work of the most well-known silent clowns Chaplin, Keaton, and Lloyd.

Just click play below, and you’ll get introductions by yours truly with eight short comedies for your very own virtual Silent Movie Day programming! Check out the program of films or just my host intros down below or access the copmlete program through my YouTube playlist.

And if you want more great silent film content, check out the Silent Movie Day Blogathon co-hosted by me and Lea Stans of Silentology!
