RÊVE DE NOËL (1900)
We go on a journey back in time to find the first Christmas movie ever made, which is only four minutes long but packs an awful lot in there.
DAS CABINET DES DR.CALIGARI (1920)
This was one of the earliest horror movies and depicted a world like the dream of an insane person.
THE CROWD (1928)
A surprisingly modern silent film about the terror of not being special.

DIE BÜCHSE DER PANDORA (1929)
A rediscovered silent classic featuring an iconic central performance by Louise Brooks as its doomed heroine

SHOES (1916)
A very early drama about the effects of poverty from the first famous female director.
