Vintage films ready for NE

TCC film buffs can participate in the NE Campus Silent Era Film Series, featuring movies from the golden age of cinema.
The series, sponsored by the art department, begins Tuesday, Feb. 10, with Tess of the Storm Country, staring Mary Pickford.
Tess is the story of a wealthy man who despises the fisherman squatters who live on the same patch of land as he does.
David Torrence plays Graves, the wealthy man who plots to remove the squatters.
Pickford portrays a squatter who fights back—a fearless heroine, a rare role for a woman in the ’20s.
The story includes murder, blackmail and Pickford’s pretending to be the mother of another woman’s baby.
This version of Tess is the 1922 film, a remake of the same story done in 1914.
Each film in the series will have a 2 p.m. show time in NFAB 1302.
Way Down East, the second film in the series, will be presented and discussed Tuesday, Feb. 24.
It stars Lilian Gish and Richard Barthelmess in a film from 1920.
The third in the series is the 1925 film The Big Parade, staring John Gilbert and Renee Adoree.
The last film is the 1928 movie A Woman of Affairs with John Gilbert and Greta Garbo.
All films are in the original black-and-white versions, and discussions will follow each viewing.
