Note: Among the most fascinating chapters in film history is that of the so-called race films which flourished between the 1920s and 1940s. Unlike the Black cast films produced within Hollywood studio system, these films not only starred African Americans but were also funded, written, produced, edited, distributed, and often exhibited by people of colour. Entrepreneurial filmmakers built an industry apart from the Hollywood establishment, cultivating visual and narrative styles that were uniquely their own. Previously circulated in poor-quality 16 mm print, these digitally restored presentations allow modern audiences to witness the legacies of Oscar Micheaux, Spencer Williams, Zora Neale Hurston and James and Eloyce Gist with fresh eyes.

Content: Hollywood Boulevard intersects Broadway in this lively collection of classic shorts from the Paramount Studios. In the late 1920s and early '30s -- when the movie industry was just learning to talk -- Paramount wisely turned to the New York stage for a new crop of entertainers who had already mastered the nuances of verbal comedy. This anthology serves as a laugh-filled time capsule of the brightest lights of vaudeville, showcasing the early works of such American legends as Jack Benny, Bing Crosby, Burns & Allen, Eddie Cantor, and George Jessel (who originated the lead role of The Jazz Singer on stage). It also provides a fascinating historical record of some of the stage legends who have begun to fade from memory, including Lulu McConnell, Tom Howard, and Smith & Dale (the inspiration for Neil Simon's The Sunshine Boys). Also included are Lighthouse Love and Cleaning Up, a pair of Mack Sennett comedies that disprove the myth that sound technology destroyed the slapstick tradition. This DVD reveals three incarnations of a popular subgenre of slapstick, "the home-builder's nightmare": The Plasterers, Plastered, and A Put Up Job. Watching the three films together (made in 1929, 1930, and 1931), one can follow the evolution of vaudeville slapstick to its own truly cinematic form. (Covertext)

Series Statement: Collection of the George Eastman House : [DVD-Video]

Content: From the little theaters of the 1920s to the ad hoc film societies of the '50s, avant-garde cinema knew no established form and held no predictable position. The boundaries of its history are still hotly debated, but its rough sensibilities informed and permeated the city symphonies of Alberto Cavalcanti, the visual music of Mary Ellen Bute and John Whitney, the classroom films of Sidney Peterson, the confessional film poems of Willard Maas and John E. Schmitz, the Lettrist cinema of Marc'O, and even marginal exploitation films and home movies. Drawn from the rich collections of Raymond Rohauer and the George Eastman House, Kino's third volume of experimental films continues to illuminate the degree to which cinema's evolution has been influenced by those filmmakers who occupy its periphery.

Content: The Joys and Perils of Modern Life Through the Eyes of a Legendary American Humorist: In this special collection of rare short films, Kino on Video pays homage to the great American satirist Robert Benchley and two other witty literati who shared his company at the Hotel Algonquin's legendary round table and personified the sophisticated literary scene of New York in the 1920s and '30s. From his first screen appearance in 1928, delivering his now-famous The Treasurer's Report (which he first performed live in 1922), Benchley established himself as a sly satirist, even as he stammered and stumbled through his nonsensical monologue. Benchley's amusingly inept lectures were soon mimicked by Donald Ogden Stewart, who would earn an Oscar for his screenplay of The Philadelphia Story, and later be blacklisted for his Communist associations. Curiously, the Communist witch-hunts are the focus of the rarest and perhaps funniest short in the anthology: The Witness, in which Benchley turns the tables on the governmental inquisitors with hilarious results. Benchley's wry filmic explorations of the headaches of everyday married life exhibit the literary acumen and clever insight that made him one of the best-loved humorists of the 20th Century.
