Episode Description from the Publisher

Julie K. Allen, professor of Comparative Arts and Letters at Brigham Young University, is the author of Screening Europe in Australasia. So it makes sense that her selections, each from a different country, would embody the transnational dynamic of silent film just before the outbreak of World War I.Julie is also the author of Icons of Danish Modernity, Danish but Not Lutheran, and The Silent Muse: The Memoirs of Asta Nielsen. She is currently working on a book about the Danish cinema license system with the tentative title The Cultural Politics of Film Exhibition.Films and resources mentioned:Quo Vadis (1913) - Enrico GuazzoniAtlantis (1913) - August BlomFantômas (1913) - Louis FeuilladeTraffic in Souls (1913) - George Loane TuckerThe Suffragette (1913) - Urban GadThe Abyss (1910) - Urban GadWhat 80 Million Women Want (1913) - Will LouisLes misérables (1912) - Albert CapellaniNick Carter, le roi des détectives (1908) - Victorin-Hippolyte JassetLes Vampires (1915) - Louis FeuilladeJudex (1916) - Louis FeuilladeSaved from the Titanic (1912) - Étienne ArnaudDestiny (1921) - Fritz LangThe Phantom Carriage (1921) - Victor SjöströmBlind Justice (1916) - Benjamin ChristensenSealed Orders (1914) - Benjamin ChristensenHäxan (1922) - Benjamin ChristensenTitanic (1997) - James CameronNero (1909) - Luigi Maggi and Arturo AmbrosioL’Inferno (1911) - Francesco Bertolini, Adolfo Padovan, and Giuseppe De LiguoroPink-Slipped: What Happened to Women in the Silent Film Industries? - Jane Gaines
