The era of the American silent feature film lasted from 1912 until
1929. During that time, filmmakers established the language of
cinema, and the motion pictures they created reached a height of
artistic sophistication. These films, with their recognizable stars
and high production values, spread American culture around the
world. Silent feature films disappeared from sight soon after the
coming of sound, and many vanished from existence. This report
focuses on those titles that have managed to survive to the present
day and represents the first comprehensive survey of the survival
of American silent feature films. The American Film Institute
Catalog of Feature Films documents 10,919 silent feature films of
American origin released through 1930. Treasures from the Film
Archives, published by the International Federation of Film
Archives (FIAF), is the primary source of information regarding
silent film survival in the archival community. The FIAF
information has been enhanced by information from corporations,
libraries, and private collectors. We have good documentation on
what American silent feature films were produced and released. This
study quantifies the "what," "where," and "why" of their survival.
The survey was designed to answer five questions:

explores personal and cultural memories of life in the United

multimedia, and literary texts from her repertoire. A childhood

experiments. The book includes reproductions of more than twenty

The 0ne Rupee Film Project is an independent and ultra-low-budget
crowd-funded feature length docu-fiction out of India. The makers
of the film had to go through a 474 day long fundraising campaign.
They asked for a minimum contribution of one rupee from everyone
they came across. Thus, 2,85,000 Indian rupees could be raised to
complete the production and the initial stages of post-production.
The film is titled Aashmani Jawaharat aka Diamonds in the Sky but
the campaign had been so huge that it is still popularly recognized
as the one rupee film. The books of this series contains stories,
backgrounds and experiences the makers of the 0ne Rupee Film
Project had during this extra-ordinary journey of theirs. If you
are interested in what kind of reality the marginal independent
filmmakers have to face or what unique face of reality they see
everyday, this book will surely amuse you.
