Overwhelmed...

I had no idea there was such a passionate following for the silents. Thank you guys for your recommendations, it will keep me busy in the coming months.

The event was a huge success. Kevin gave a 1hr talk on the life and influences of David Lean. Unfortunately, as the projectionist I was more focussed on ensuring the selection of film clips were loaded and stopped in time and missed most of what he was saying, which was humourous and very well presented. He kindly gave me the paper copy of the speech and I have a list of the excerpts which I will follow up on (The Gold Rush, Mare Nostre, The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse).

Sunrise was a revelation, the techniques, the performances, the humour shattered all my preconceptions about the silent era. The facial expressions on the barber were priceless. The drunken pig hilarious and utterly tasteless.

Lord Glasgow was an excellent and enthusiastic host and I got the impression every one of the fifty or so guests had a good night. I have a feeling it may happen again sometime soon.
