Sounds great - thanks DG, booking made! By the way, at the time of writing there are two tickets left for the BFI on Friday, but they're both miles away from each other so it would suit two separate people rather than a couple.

for anyone in london who can't get tickets, it's available, or used to be, in the BFI mediatheque (drop-in, free) as are other films from that era so you can see the development of films in 30 years from a few minutes with a fixed camera to full length features of this quality. then came sound, and films as most of us know them today.

According to the Canary Wharf link you point to, the film will be available on DVD this year.

Fascinating. I have to say though that moving pictures had been around for over 30 years by 1928, and by that time the grammar of film had become quite sophisticated. See Hitchcock's Blackmail released the same year on the cusp of sound, made in both sound and silent versions. It's generally thought that the silent version is better. When sound came out cinema style took a backwards step, partly because cameras had to be grounded in sound-proof booths.

My wife was the film editor on 'Creep', a recent horror film set in the underground, featuring a creature living in the subterranean pipework and preying on the unsuspecting. They filmed it late at night on the abandoned bit of Jubilee Line and in the public passageways of Green Park station. My wife, who was working in Soho at the time, recalls how weird it was editing a particularly gruesome sequence during the day and then going home via Green Park later in the evening, passing the very same walls she'd seen smeared with blood only a few hours earlier!
