The third collection of the brilliant «Treasures From American Film Archives,» which showcases 48 rarities made between the years 1900 to 1934, is loosely organized around themes of social issues and engagement and reveals a side of early cinema forgotten in the popularity of the
comedy legends and
silent screen heartthrobs.
Inspired by the curious spirit of slapstick
comedy and the physical humor of
silent film
legends such as Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin, Plumb employs a low - fi aesthetic by using Super-8 film, stationary camera shots, long takes and hand - made props and costumes.
