D.W. Griffith - Father Of Film [DVD]
It's hard to speculate how cinema would have developed if there had been no D.W. Griffith, but without his groundbreaking contributions, the narrative possibilities of motion pictures would not have evolved so quickly. This thorough documentary by Kevin Brownlow and David Gill explores Griffith's contributions to the art of cinema and the controversies and scandals that surrounded everything he touched. It's the type of project that will change the way film buffs view Griffith's work and help audiences come to terms with his most notorious and innovative work, THE BIRTH OF A NATION.

Abraham Lincoln/ The Struggle [DVD]
From one of the most important names in narrative cinema history come two films that demonstrate the versatility and storytelling prowess of D.W. Griffith. In ABRAHAM LINCOLN Walter Huston stars as the sometimes troubled leader who overcame his personal issues to help guide the nation through its darkest days. In THE STRUGGLE, the director shifts perspectives to the quiet depiction of one man's troubles with alcohol and the havoc it wreaks on his health and family. Both features will remind film buffs why Griffith is considered an essential figure.

Orphans of the Storm [DVD]
Legendary director D.W. Griffith (INTOLERANCE) delivers another sweeping historical epic with this film, based on the d'Ennery and Corman play, THE TWO ORPHANS. Sisters Lillian and Dorothy Gish are the girls who become separated in the streets of eighteenth century Paris during the dramatic upheavals of the French Revolution. As Henriette (Lillian Gish) searches for her blind adopted sister Louise (Dorothy Gish), she falls in love with a kind and concerned young member of the aristocracy, Chevalier (Joseph Schildkraut). Unfortunately their love is doomed by her commoner status, and his callous uncle (Frank Losee), who railroads her off to prison to keep them apart. The revolution occurs, and Henriette is liberated, but then there’s more trouble when mob rule causes chaos in the streets, the guillotine awaits Chevalier, and Louise remains just out of reach. Griffith captures the class injustice at the heart of this story by contrasting scenes of lavish parties at the houses of the nobles with the abject poverty of the beggars outside. The thrilling use of crowds and meticulous historical accuracy make this an epic comparable in scope and theme to BIRTH OF A NATION, which is how Griffith undoubtedly meant it. The film is silent, with tinted scenes and film score.
