Art Spiegelman talks silent film from Pordenone

Here are a couple of fascinating video clips of Pulitzer Prize winning comic artist Art Spiegelman (author of Maus) talking about silent film. Spiegelman has a well known love of early popular music. And some years ago, when I met him, he told me he sometimes listened to RadioLulu (the LBS radio station streaming Louise Brooks and silent film themed music).

In the first video, Spiegelman explains why he attended the recent Pordenone Silent Film Festival in Italy, where they recently screened the once lost Brooks' film, Now We're in the Air.


In the second video, he explains his interest in silent film. (video starts after 13 seconds)
