@swsilents.bsky.socialSorry to hear the passing of film historian Arthur Lennig (1933-2026). We first knew Arthur via his work and writing on the cinema. But, luckily, we were able to get to know him even more while attending Le Giornate Del Cinema Muto, #Pordenone. We'll be lifting a glass (and ice cream) to you Arthur.

We’ve always thought about doing an event set around the devil… this def boosts the idea to front of our ideas queue. And there is a #SilentFilm queue!
