Greetings from Pordenone! We’ve spent this week at the 45th Le Giornate del Cinema Muto, the Pordenone Silent Film Festival, catching up with friends and colleagues from around the world. Here are a few shots from the week. Grazie to the Giornate team for another extraordinary festival! #GCM45

Maurice Tourneur’s THE WHITE HEATHER (1919) screens Oct 12 at the Kobe Discovery Film Festival in Japan! A melodrama of secret marriage and a sunken yacht, with what is considered one of the earliest underwater action sequences shot on the seafloor. 👉 https://kobe-eiga.net/kdff/kdff_2026/program/

Huge thanks to the Roxie Theater for being a wonderful home to the festival, to our co-presenters, restoration partners & archives for making it possible, to our members for your support, and to our volunteers/supporters for everything you did behind the scenes. We couldn’t have done it without you.

From MY NAME AIN’T SUZIE and LEPERS & SEX to THE GARDEN OF EDEN and 8 GIRLS IN A BOAT, it was a thrill to watch these films find new audiences, and your energy in the theater made every screening feel special.
