Overview

Silent Cuts is a non-linear narrative meditation on how interconnected themes of science fiction, epic myth, and Orientalism shaped iconic moments of a lost silent cinema world. The layered montage of clips from more than 20 shorts and features of the silent era suggests an early preoccupation with referents to theater, fantasy, and magic, and formal experiments that shaped early silent cinema.
