Silent Film Gifs

A place to share your favourite silent film gifs.

Please use the following title formatting, when posting: · Film Name - Director/s (YYYY)

How to upload? - Right now Lemmy.world (and other Lemmy Instances) don't accept gifs uploads. Convert your gif to apng or webp to upload (you can use some online and offline programs). Please try to keep the files small.

How to see? - Gifs in 'apng' won't play automatically in some instances in webview and you need to open the image in a new tab (they do in Voyager for example). Gifs in 'webp' format should play fine in webview and in most Lemmy apps.

Simple Guidelines

1. Include the original film name, director and year of release for your favourite silent film gif

Always include the original film name, director and year of release. If you do not know some of the required information, state that in either the title or top-level comment e.g. [Roma, Federico Fellini, Unknown Year]. The reason we ask for this information is that you can only search on the content of post titles, not comments.

2. No low-effort/low-quality posts.

Posts made to r/filmsframes are expected to be of high quality and have serious effort put behind them. The frame should be clean, not have any urls/website watermarks in them.

3. Be Original

Don’t publish famous gifs of a famous film like everyone else, we want to see your own view of a film, your favourite shot, try to publish your favourite gif.

4. Be respectful.

Harassment, abuse, name calling, and/or threats of any kind is not tolerated here. Any content, whether an image or a comment, that includes any kind of bigoted language or hate speech will be met with a permanent ban.

5. No off-topic Content

Never post anything that is off-topic (i.e. not silent film gifs) or that contains gory material.

6. No spam or reposts.

Do not submit more than one of the same post/comment on this community or across multiple communities. In addition, please wait at least 3 months before reposting an image that has already been posted to r/silentfilmgifs, and do not repost from the top of all time.

7. No advertisement or self-promotion.

Do not use this subreddit to advertise or self-promote. This includes (but is not limited to) websites, articles, blog posts, and brands.

8. No memes images Please keep the 'silent films' and 'gifs' in mind.

9. Tag NSFW Posts

· Nudity: Obvious, implied or strategically covered · Content that is “sexually explicit” · Gore, both human and non-human.

Feel free to report any content that does not respect these rules.

Please watch what is posted already, maybe your gif isn't the most suitable for this community.

The Wolf of Wall Street (1929) is today believed to be a lost film. The only part of the movie known to still exist is this brief montage sequence created by Slavko Vorkapić.

Absolutely incredible composition

Really makes you wonder exactly how they achieved this at that time.

Mattes! Lots can be accomplished simply by controlling what part of the film gets exposed and when.
