There's a rock series running at Anthology, featuring a lot of stuff that many of us have seen. Although I've never endured all of Woodstock... I'd link but the website is having connectivity problems. Check Screen Slate.

As there was no soundtrack/score on the print, FSLC ran last night's 7pm Dulac silent feature in total silence. Terrible idea. Put on a record to drown out the patrons' yawns and gurgling stomachs.

Haha, I remember seeing von Sternberg's Underworld that way at the Film Forum. A totally ridiculous way to screen a film.

Otm. If I watch something silent at home and don’t like the soundtrack they’ve added to it I mute it and play something else.

yeah wow that was great! thanks for the recommendations, y'all, they helped push us over the top and we had a ball.the theater (one floor up, in columbia's new, quasi-dystopian manhattanville campus) is a nice room too, more of a wide black box theater than just a dinky little screening room. screen felt big, could really dive into the colors. sound was kind of painfully loud a few times, not sure if that was specific to the film, the settings in the control room, or the acoustics. but i'd def see a movie there again.
