Where to watch online

This is fantastic!--the Danish Film Institute is offering free streaming of 67 (currently) Danish silent movies from 1897-1928:

Including, for example, A TRIP TO MARS (Holger-Madsen, 1918, 81 min) and Dreyer's MASTER OF THE HOUSE etc.

The free offers (current) of Filmmuseum München on Vimeo:

https://vimeo.com/filmmuseummuenchen

including the last Soviet silent film, Vasily Zhuravlev's 1936 The Space Voyage (Kosmičeskij rejs, Kosmische Reise). This is the museum's restored version and looks better than the stuff on YT but sorry it's only Russian and German:

Kosmische Reise

The French cinematheque is offering a different movie every night, today (June 16) it's Albert Capellani's L'assommoir from 1909:

But check out the stuff below that... LOL @ the title "L'Après-midi d'un jeune homme qui s'ennuie"... scroll down for Mosjoukine, Feyder, Jean Rouch etc. LOADS of goodies.

Films by Jean Epstein!

La Chute de la maison Usher (1928) (has English subtitles it says)

Le Lion des Mogols (1924)--with Ivan Mosjoukine and check out that costume!

etc.

A phantasmagorical short by Abel Gance, La folie du docteur Tube:

P.S. Wow, that's the earliest surviving work of Gance's. 1915

The cinematheque in Milan is just a tad involved because you have to register (it's free) (ETA: or login via Google or Facebook), but if you do that you'll find rich offers from all periods and various countries--more movies than anywhere else I've seen so far. (It doesn't look as if there's an English version of the website but perhaps it's not too hard to navigate by thumbnail?)

The following links should take you to the subcategories once you register/login and not just land you back on the login page:

And so on.

A shot in the dark but who knows, SOMEONE might see it...

If you can manage French subtitles, there are still about 3 hours left to see this wonderful, rare, unbuyable, unseeable movie that was made in 1964, buried, and restored only last year:

An Expressionist gem, newly restored:

Scherben (Shards) by Lupu Pick, 1921.

Starring Werner Krauss fresh out of Caligari; and also of Caligari fame, the scriptwriter Carl Mayer.

German cards only but the story's not opaque... actually, might be of the type where it's interesting to pick it out solely based on people's faces and gestures.
