DESCRIPTION:Admission is free. No advance reservations. Your seat will be a
	ssigned to you when you pick up your ticket at the box office. Seats are a
	ssigned on a first come\, first served basis. The box office opens one hou
	r before the event.\n\nSilent Movie Day(opens in a new tab) was created as
	 an annual celebration of silent motion pictures\, and the UCLA Film & Tel
	evision Archive has participated every year to exalt these films as a vita
	l\, beautiful and powerful cinematic art form. Since so much of our silent
	 cinema heritage has been lost forever\, we are proud to join with hundred
	s of like-minded archives\, venues and festivals all over the world each y
	ear to advocate for their presentation and preservation.\n\nSilent filmmak
	ing was extremely sophisticated by the 1920s\, and many of the great direc
	tors of this era expressed their ideas primarily through the use of pictor
	ial elements to create visually fantastic and memorable images (cinematogr
	aphy and screenwriting students study silent film for this very reason tod
	ay). Women played an essential role in the industry\, making up to 50% of 
	the studio workforce before 1930. A significant number of the highest paid
	 directors\, actors and screenwriters were women\, and many had their own 
	production companies that allowed them expansive creative freedom.\n\nAt i
	ts inaugural UCLA Festival of Preservation in 1988\, the UCLA Film & Telev
	ision Archive premiered their photochemical restoration of Mary Pickford’s
	 The Love Light to an ecstatic audience. The film had not been seen in its
	 entirety for many years and parts of the original negatives had disintegr
	ated. The restoration was produced by combining portions of original Ameri
	can and European release prints and negatives\, much of these coming from 
	the Mary Pickford Foundation Collection.\n\nIn 2021\, 100 years after the 
	release of The Love Light\, the UCLA Film & Television Archive partnered w
	ith the Mary Pickford Foundation to scan this preservation element in 4K a
	s the basis for the current digital restoration. All subsequent work — inc
	luding DRS\, color grading\, tinting and vari-speeding — were employed and
	 completed at Roundabout Entertainment. Thanks to these efforts\, this new
	ly restored version of The Love Light has been returned to the original be
	auty of its in\n\nEvent Website: https://www.library.ucla.edu/visit/events
