The Stolen Jewels and other short films by D.W. Griffith

Before becoming known for films like The Birth of a Nation or Intolerance, between 1908 and 1912 D.W. Griffith directed over 300 short films for Biograph Company, the first company in the United States dedicated exclusively to film production and distribution. Four of his representative short films will be screened at TIFF: The Stolen Jewels, The Cord of Life, The Voice of the Violin, and The Englishman and the Girl.

Special screening accompanied live by Donald Sosin and Joanna Seaton!
