In addition
to our existing catalogue of 35mm silent movie prints, including films
by Chaplin, Eisenstein, Murnau and other leading directors, Kino International
is proud to announce our representation of the KILLIAM film Library for
theatrical distribution through Worldview Entertainment. Consisting of
many of the earliest and best images ever recorded on film,
the vast majority of the KILLIAM collection has been preserved on modern
safety stock, copied from the earliest surviving generation of celluloid,
usually from the original nitrate based materials which have since decomposed.
The collection was assembled over forty years ago by Paul Killiam through
acquisition from the Estate of D.W. Griffith, and later, a large portion
of the collection of Thomas Edison, at a time when few cared enough to
preserve motion picture heritage. Since that time, additions to the inventory
from have augmented the renown of the KILLIAM Library of silent classic
motion pictures. We are proud to present seven of these titles for theatrical
release along with our existing catalogue of 35 mm silent prints because
we believe that there is no better way to see a great film than as the
filmmaker intended – projected on a big screen in a darkened theater.
