Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:6852383 | Film Format: 16mm |
I am an avid film collector and a Cinema Studies Professor. Regrettably I need to downsize my collection. I have used this film in my classes over the years and excellent projectors that I have maintained myself. I also own dozens of 16mm projectors, S8mm projectors and Regular 8mm projectors.
This print is complete and the print is Excellent/Very Good. This title is also rare and hard to find. I purchased this print many years ago from a film distributor that went out of business. ...I have used this print in the classes I have taught in the past and it projects perfectly.
This print is complete with no splices in the print, no damage, no vinegar, no scratches it is complete with all title cards complete and new head and tail leader. The contrast a bit low. Would list this as near mint if I could.
This print is completely black and white with no color tinting within the film.
The print comes mounted onto 3 1600' 16mm reels. Each reel approx. 45 minutes. There is no tinting.There is some minor scratches intermintally on all three reels. None of these interfere with the experience of the film and the last 300ft of reel four have a couple of deeper scratches and again they do not interfere with the screening.
This 1916 film directed by D.W. Griffith is also Subtitled "Love's Struggle Throughout the Ages A Sun-Play" and is Regarded as one of the great masterpieces of the 20th centrury. Though it received mixed reviews at the time), the three-and-a-half-hour epic intercuts four parallel storylines, each separated by several centuries: (1) a contemporary melodrama of crime and redemption, (2) a Judean story Christ's mission and death, (3) a French story: the events surrounding the St. Bartholomew Massacre "Battle of Opis" and the fall of ancient Babylonian Empire Persia in 539 BC. The scenes are linked by shots of a figure representing Eternal Motherhood, rocking a cradle.
Intolerance was made partly in response to criticism of Griffith's previous film, The Birth of a Nation which was criticized by the NAACP and other groups as perpetuating Racial stereotype and glorifying the Ku Klux Klan. It was not, however, an apology, as Griffith felt he had nothing to apologize for in numerous interviews, Griffith made clear that the film's title and overriding themes were meant as a response to those who he felt had been intolerant of him in condemning The Birth of a Nation In the years following its release.
This film would strongly influence European film movements. In 1989, it was one of the first films to be selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
