On this day, 100 years ago, legendary filmmaker #DWGriffith released "The Sorrows of Satan", based on the 1895 novel of the same name by #MarieCorelli.

A still image from the film would be used decades later as the cover to #Bauhaus genre-busting debut single, #BelaLugosisDead!

#10 – Orphans of the Storm (1921)

Griffith llevó a las Gish a la Revolución Francesa para advertir contra el bolchevismo: turba fanática contra aristócrata bueno. Perfección técnica al miedo rojo. 🎬

#6 – Broken Blossoms (1919)

Tras «Intolerance», Griffith volvió a lo íntimo: Gish golpeada por su padre, Barthelmess en yellowface como protector. Empatía y estereotipo, misma película. 🎬

#5 – Intolerance (1916)

Acusado de racista por «The Birth of a Nation», Griffith respondió con un alegato sobre la intolerancia, sin hacerse cargo del problema real. Cuatro historias, la misma ceguera. 🎬

#3 – The Birth of a Nation (1915)

Griffith inventó buena parte de la gramática del cine moderno y la usó para producir propaganda racista y resucitar al KKK. Obra maestra técnica y desastre moral. 🎬

Ayer domingo estuve viendo "Intolerancia", película de 1916 dirigida por D.W. Giffith y al terminar de verla tuve la sensación de estar delante de una película que quiso cambiarlo todo, que quiso demostrar hasta dónde podía llegar el cine y sin duda que lo consigue

The first #studio in #CulverCity was #TriangleStudios, opening in 1915 before shutting down in 1919. Founded by brothers Harry and #RoyAitken after the release of #BirthofaNation, the goal was to build off the careers of #DWGriffith, #ThomasInce and #MackSennett.

#SonyPictures can be traced back to #1912 in one way or another. Starting off as the #TriangleFilmCorp with #DWGriffith, #ThomasInce and #MackSennett before becoming #MGM in the '20s and #ColumbiaStudios under #Sony in the '90s before adopting the name. #photography #americana #wa #architecture

Today was born unto us #DWGriffith, who really shouldn't have made that one movie, featured in #AndStarringPanchoVillaAsHimself. That movie also features a DELIGHTFUL performance from @mjmckean.bsky.social as #ChristyCabanne, one of filmmaking's lesser-sung pioneers. www.podbean.com/ew/pb-mxyh5-...

The book became a stage play, which, in 1915, #DWGriffith adapted for the screen as “Birth of a Nation”. President #WoodrowWilson hailed it as “history written with lightning” & showed it at the White House to further its #racist myths.
