    This project aims to recreate a lost feature film from the silent era using surviving clues and documents, including the surviving musical score, contemporary press reviews and other films from the same production company, Vitagraph Studios. It is not clear from the site if the project is still current but video interviews with the project’s originators give an interesting insight into the genesis of the venture - which began with the chance discovery of the film’s score in a junkshop - and its methodology.

    This podcast is based on the simple idea of taking Hollywood scripts that have not yet been made into films and presenting them as full length radio plays, performed by Hollywood actors. The podcast is hosted by Leonard Franklin’s Black List site, which exists to support screenwriters by recommending their work to industry producers and professionals. Another interesting resources on the Black List site is 500 Feminist Films, a list of films (with links to imdb) based on a simple set of criteria: to qualify as a feminist film the film must have at least one of the following: a female director; a female screenwriter; a female lead; or features strong pro-woman themes. The list could be a good starting point for classroom/semimar discussion on the subject. The Table Reads podcast is also freely available in iTunes
