Tv EN ↓ 127 episodes

This is a podcast counterpart of Silent Beauties blog, which is devoted to silent and classic films. Although silent films were quite important in the evolution of cinema, they remain virtually forgotten nowadays. Since the best way to understand the present is taking an attentive look at the past, here you have some information about movies, pictures, interviews, etc. on silent cinema. Some occasional material on sound films will also be presented. I hope you enjoy getting to know a bit more about the beauty and sheer fun of these golden oldies.
