Silent SIFF 2007

David Jeffers

The cat is finally out of the bag! Seattle International Film Festival has announced it’s hefty 2007 program, and SIFF’s 33rd opus includes interesting archival selections of Film Noir, Hollywood adventure, with three films from the silent era.

The Sentimental Bloke (1919)
Saturday June 2, 7:00pm, SIFF Cinema (Nesholm Family Lecture Hall)


Arthur Tauchert plays a regular "bloke" whose life is changed by love in the eight reel Australian comedy The Sentimental Bloke (1919). Published in 1915 as Songs of a Sentimental Bloke, C. J. Dennis’ collection of poems gained wide popularity among homesick Aussie troops, paving the way for this highly successful film adaptation. The Sentimental Bloke also features Australian mega-star Lottie Lyell as Doreen, and will be presented with live musical accompaniment.

A Cottage on Dartmoor (1929)
Wednesday June 13, 7:00pm, SIFF Cinema (Nesholm Family Lecture Hall)


A crime of passion, followed by an escape from bleak and imposing Dartmoor Prison are featured in the British film, A Cottage on Dartmoor (1929), presented with live musical accompaniment from preeminent silent film pianist Donald Sosin, who accompanied The Scarlet Letter (1926) and Au Bonheur Des Dames (1930) at SIFF 2006.

Berlin, Symphony of a City (Berlin. Die Sinfonie der Grossstadt) (1927)
Friday June 15, 7:00 & 9:30pm, The Triple Door


The third and final silent film presentation at SIFF 2007 is Walther Ruttmann’s breathtaking expressionist tone poem, Berlin: Symphony of a City (1927), featured with live musical accompaniment by Seattle band Kinski, in a landmark from Seattle’s own silent era, the Embassy Theater (that is, The Triple Door, for you youngsters).

More to follow …
