摘要:The Pordenone Silent Film Festival (president Livio Jacob; director David Robinson) has been running annually since 1982; this was the 28th. For a long time, it was the only silent film festival in the world, and it is still the most important. For eight days in October, silent films are screened, under optimal conditions, for twelve hours (or so) a day in the Teatro Comunale Giuseppe Verdi in Pordenone, Italy, to an audience of enthusiasts drawn from all over the world. Once experienced, the Giornate is addictive. Almost everybody comes back the following year. Currently, the festival attracts around 900 accredited guests a year
