LE GIORNATE DEL CINEMA MUTO KICKS OFF WITH MACISTE ALL'INFERNO, MACISTE IN HELL, NEW FROM EFSP

You can always count on our friends at European Film Star Postcards for coverage of all the film festivals:

Maciste all’Inferno (1926) 

Today starts the 40th edition of Le Giornate del Cinema Muto, the world’s leading international silent-film festival, presented annually in Pordenone, northern Italy. EFSP will follow the festival highlights till 9 October with daily posts. We begin with the pre-opening film, Maciste all’Inferno/Maciste in Hell (Guido Brignone, 1926), which could be seen yesterday in Sacile. Once, Maciste all’Inferno inspired the young Federico Fellini to become a film director. He loved the silent film because of its weird, fairy-tale-like atmosphere. Italian actor Bartolomeo Pagano played the strong man Maciste for the first time in Cabiria (Giovanni Pastrone, 1914). The enormous success of that film classic launched a series of Maciste films, produced in Italy and Germany.  CLICK ON THE VINTAGE MOVIE POSTCARD---READ AND SEE MORE AT https://filmstarpostcards.blogspot.com/2014/11/maciste-allinferno-1926.html
