Episode 42: Enjoy The Silents
The Brattle Film Podcast - A podcast by The Brattle Theater, Ian Brownell, Ivy Moylan, Ned Hinkle, Alissa Darsa

We explore our preconceptions about silent films, the barriers that prevent many audiences from embracing silent films, and some of our favorite silent films (as well as a few new discoveries). But first we spend the first 12 minutes looking ahead to this years Toronto International Film Festival.
