My first night at The 2025 San Francisco Silent Film Festival finds me swept away by the French Foreign Legion. "Nobody'll ever know how brave them soldiers was!"

The Hound of the Baskervilles (R. Oswald 29) I’m no Holmes adaptation expert but this is among the most stylish & best I’ve seen. Certainly the best silent. Maybe up there with The Scarlet Claw as my favorite b&w. (Wilder’s Private Life of Sherlock Holmes rules the roost.) #SFSFF

Only 1 feature directed by a white man at #SFSFF today: Arthur Robison's The Informer. Others by Dorothy Arzner, Lois Weber & Oscar Micheaux

Tonight @NilesFilmMuseum shows shorts with Chaplin, Lloyd, Keaton, Arbuckle, Laurel & Hardy. Next week off for #SFSFF

Thanks to Carl Martin's @sfsilentfilm print round-up I know that The Patsy's about to screen in a new print. #Sfsff

Pondering the Wild West of distributing and restoring uncopyrighted films after @SilentRobert's presentation on Dwan's The Half-Breed #sfsff

Easy Virtue (Hitchcock 27) Telephone operator gag is the big highlight, but it's not quite so funny after the recent NSA revelations. #SFSFF

The Farmer's Wife (Hitchcock 28) A comedy built on the rural rhythms & colourful characters Hitch spiced so many later features with. #SFSFF

The Manxman (Hitchcock 29) Low-frills and almost Borzagean, but wholly infused with Hitchcock's ideas about marriage and the law. #SFSFF

The Ring (Hitchcock 27) Storytelling so clear I imagine almost every word characters say though intertitles (& supertitles!) are few. #SFSFF

Stephen Horne fans: hear him perform Downhill & (with a celtic harpist) The Manxman today. Also: Judith Rosenberg's #SFSFF debut: Champagne!

Mont Alto Motion Picture Orchestra's Blackmail clarinet-heavy score last night was among their best; they return tonight for The Ring #SFSFF

Blackmail (Hitchcock 29)³ How apropos that a silent film perfectly express the inability of Anny Ondra & John Longden to communicate. #SFSFF

I haven't laughed like this since The Cameraman played #SFSFF. RT @JeffreySconce SIGHT AND SOUND Critics Poll for 2212.

Stella Dallas (King 25) I don't know if there was a dry eye in the house after that 1. Only Buster Keaton could cheer this crowd up. #SFSFF

Erotikon (Stiller 20) More a precursor to pieces by masters (e.g. Renoir, Dreyer) than a masterpiece in its own right, but good fun. #SFSFF

The #SFSFF line outside the @Castro_Theatre to see Louise Brooks in Pandora's Box at 7PM already has 7 people in it. #ismellasellout

Decided to skip the 5PM #SFSFF screening of South. Seen it before. Pales compared to The Great White Silence in my book. #sacrificial lamb

The Canadian (Beaudine 26) Themes done comically in Mantrap from the same year, done with pitch-perfect dramatic subtlety. Great #SFSFF find

The Spanish Dancer (Brenon 23) How seriously do we take this historical churner? Here's 1 sample intertitle: "Had enough, Hell-cat?" #SFSFF

I love Felix the Cat. If animism meant worship of animation, he'd be top deity in the pantheon. Pixar-esque "realism" can't compare. #SFSFF

Last-minute @SFSilentFilm Fest tweeters #FF @kurtiss @puppymeat @oldfilmsflicker @southsidephilly @tpjost @tosilentfilm @backlotsfilm #SFSFF

The Wonderful Lie Of Nina Petrovna (Schwartz 29) Digital subtitle problems couldn't break methodical spell of eroticism & cruelty. #SFSFF
