We’re starting with an episode of the 1915 French serial “Les Vampires”, a highly influential series of 10 episodes that inspired the works of Lang and Hitchcock, Buñel, etc.. In this “Vampires” are more of the femme fatale variety but the aesthetic and mystique is still there

I might go ahead and show more episodes of “Les Vampires” next month if there’s no #SilentSundayNights in April but so far I haven’t heard anything for sure. I will let y’all know in a couple of weeks.

Our first #SilentFlickerSunday leading lady this month is Jeanne Roques AKA Musidora (February 23, 1889 – December 11, 1957)🇫🇷 She began her career as a 15yr old novelist and later took up acting along side her childhood friend Colette. After spending the 1910s acting she became a writer-director.
