What Do Those Old Films Mean (1986)
Noel Burch’s fascinating and well-made (if at times historically contestable) six-part television series made for Channel 4, is about early silent cinema in Denmark, England, the Soviet Union, France, Germany, and the U.S., and mixes beautiful clips of rare films with various social theories about their significance. The series was later released on VHS as "The Silent Revolution: What Do Those Old Films Mean?"
