Looking for Conflagration (Enjo) from 1958. There's a torrent (Conflagration.1958.(Drama-Japanese).1080p.BRRip.x264-Classics) but it doesn't seem to be seeding well for me.

Lately I've been watching nonfiction content from the silent era -- found footage, documentary, early fragments. This excellent video from the Museum of Modern Art captures a lot of what attracts me to these films.

>It's not so much being seduced by a story, it's the thrill of seeing in itself.

I'm just disappointed that it's often difficult to find quality versions of this stuff. Watching anything potato quality youtube or even DVD doesn't do justice to the footage, and you lose the experience of time travel if you can't see clear details.

I imagine most people here interested in silent movies have seen this, but this series is essential for those who haven't seen it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mo3Z8IkLnU

Buster Keaton: A Hard Act to Follow and Harold Lloyd: The Third Genius are worth watching too. I feel like I've also seen parts of Cinema Europe but don't remember much of it.

A new seven-hour version of Abel Gance's Napoleon screens in Paris July 4 and 5 - that's about 90 minutes longer than Kevin Brownlow's version released through BFI a few years ago. I haven't been able to determine what footage Brownlow was missing and why--an interesting question considering he spent his life assembling footage for his project--though I assume the French Cinematique had a much larger budget for their restoration.

https://thefilmstage.com/the-7-hour-version-of-abel-gances-napoleon-a-restoration-16-years-in-the-making-will-premiere-this-summer/

I was building toward Napoleon by watching Gance's J'accuse, a rather underwhelming effort about a provincial love triangle interrupted by the horrors of WWI. I just can't take any more French stories centered around marital infidelity, especially involving a frumpy woman.

I refuse to watch it until they restore the 9+ hours version.

I finished Napoleon and it's undoubtedly a monumental film, much better than J'accuse, but I was surprised that the essence of Napoleon's life - his conquest of Europe - is not even included. After 5 and a half hours, Napoleon finally takes his first step into Italy.

The End.

The impressionistic triptych is beautiful regardless. I suppose Waterloo is a better film for coverage of the Napoleonic Wars. I've also got the Sacha Guitry's Napoleon from 1956 but I've never seen anyone recommend that one.

Most "Christian" film lists are far too broad because they simply praise the spiritual aspect of films that everyone already knows about. That said, one resource is Steven Greydanus who reviews for the National Catholic Register.

I can't come up with a list of 100 but here are some more titles for consideration

Legenda o knyagine Olge AKA The Legend of Princess Olga (1984)
Les camisards AKA The French Calvinists (1972)

A special place for a small-format video field dedicated, once upon a time, to video technique experiments, unorthodox art directions and/or kinetic performances.
As previously discussed this is a genre who has gotten a bit harsher to collect and research, there's some ways to start amassing a personal stash in a reliable way and check information regarding content creators, but in recent times these have gotten limited.
The IMVDb site is a good place to start although it seems its staff activity has halted, at least considering that community entries have been on hold for a year now, so it should probably be taken as an introductory resource rather than a golden rule.
Archive.org also features "small" batches of standard quality files, so it's also a most-see for new adventurers.

Featured here is one of the early products made by the famous Ninja Tune label, as the founders of said company Coldcut made a collaboration with Hexstatic to create a small Audiovisual single that shows the very early and pioneering technology of their own real-time video manipulation software, something also called video scratching as it remixes and manipulates video as it were a vinyl on a disc jockey table, with audio included. Something that just very recently has been considered a normal mark in video sites, and mostly as an evolution of golden age Youtube Poop which is at its earliest around 2007; Coldcut made

I do not know the general consensus, but I think music videos offer more freedom to some mavericks. Chris Cunningham, for example, was going to direct a screen adaptation for Neuromancer, but he left the project because he wouldn't get final cut approval. So yeah, some of them don't sell out. Some people still have dignity, unlike the poser >>733 mentioned.

Somewhat agreed but there's many excellent videos with only dancing, talking heads or just experimental techniques, usually combining rhythm and/or lyrics with the visual cues. It's music-oriented mini short films after all, narrative or performance.
One thing for sure is that i find hard to remember a video i liked that i didn't also like the song, just realized that and it seems hypocritical from my part.

A thread for Nordic cinema.

update: the second one was kinda bad, but the other ones were great (especially the first one)
There was this film I saw years ago about these wanderers somewhere in the nordic realms long, long ago. The struggles for their survival under harsh conditions against all odds was the primary scenario of the film. What struck me then and has stuck with me since was the final scene where the 5 remants made it alive, and then each of them had some kind of legendary symbol float up above them towards the overhead camera shot -- it was apparently that these 5 individuals were the core of some following nordic myth or legend.

Unfortunately I've forgotten what the name of the movie was, or even which language it was in. I've tried to locate it since, but to no avail. My guess is it was filmed in the 70's or 80's. I wish I could find it again.

Ring any bells, /film/?
any more recommendations, anons?

You don't expect to see a whodunit parlor mystery selected as a nation's top film, but that's what critics did in Finland. Inspector Palmu's Mistake is certainly an essential entry in the genre, smartly written with a coterie of compelling characters. But I'm not quite sure what the inspector's mistake was -- his one slip-up was being temporarily distracted after getting drunk during lunch.

Growing up I always enjoyed watching films, but when I got older I started studying film and it tainted my movie-going experience permanently. It used to be that movies had a magical, escapist quality to them for me. But now when I watch a movie I can't help but criticize and analyse it in my mind. I can't stop myself from being taken out of immersion. It's no longer a fun past time, but a chore.

It's very frustrating for me, because I just want to get absorbed into a story and forget about everything for 90 minutes, but I can't. Has anyone else here faced this problem?

Happened to me, that's why i started posting on /film/ because i had very few friends in contact whom i could talk about it. Had the luck to have one that recommended me decent stuff at an early age but it wasn't until college that i could find likeminded people, they are still top-tier friends but even before this pandemic i rarely could talk about movies because they got sucked into work life, paying taxes and such.
And to make things worse i don't watch films anymore, i download them but never sit down to watch them due to my eternal college struggles and sidetracking with other hobbies. I did watch some low-brow stuff and somewhat got fond of it hence why i will start a thread about it in the near future to dump in some observations about certain aspects, peasant action cinema does have some redeemable qualities in its technical aspects along with unorthodox procedures to cut costs.

It really depends, if its a movie i want to take seriously and i will watch it alone, there are other movies though that aren't very good and the only enjoyment you'll get out of them is by sharing the experience.
