Estronho e esquésito

There was a time when cinema expressed itself through exaggerated gazes, sweeping gestures, drama-laden intertitles, and laughter that erupted without warning. This section proposes a return to that era, gathering texts that traverse different paths of silent cinema.

The series Silent Marathon is dedicated to cinematic serials, while The Origins of Horror investigates the early shorts and features that helped shape horror born under the aesthetics of silence. Meanwhile, Silent Film Stars revisits the actors and actresses who defined the era through their presence, expressiveness, and the impact they had on the consolidation of this visual language.
