?100
Silent
Filmsprovides
an
authoritative
and
accessible
history
of
silent
cinema
through
one
hundred
of
its
most
interesting
and
significant
films.
As
Bryony
Dixon
contends,
silent
cinema
is
not
a
genre;
it
is
the
first
35
years
of
film
history,
a
complex
negotiation
between
art
and
commerce
and
a
union
of
creativity
and
technology.
At
its
most
grand
–
on
the
big
screen
with
a
full
orchestral
accompaniment
–
it
is
magnificent,
permitting
a
depth
of
emotional
engagement
rarely
found
in
other
fields
of
cinema.
Silent
film
was
hugely
popular
in
its
day,
and
its
success
enabled
the
development
of
large-scale
film
production
in
the
United
States
and
Europe.
It
was
the
start
of
our
fascination
with
the
moving
image
as
a
disseminator
of
information
and
as
mass
entertainment
with
its
consequent
celebrity
culture.
