I'm proposing a thread, similar to "Now Playing", but of video content instead. Post movies, shorts, animations, episodes of a show, any video clip that's got a narrative structure or something along those lines (so, NOT music videos or purely visual art). I will start us off. There are many films of varying length in the public domain due to age that can be found on YT, some of which are worth watching. Sometimes they are in better quality on home media, sometimes not. Of these, plenty of films from the 1920's and earlier exist. Here is one such silent film: Schatten - Eine nächtliche Halluzination (Warning Shadows) (1923) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schatten_%E2%80%93_Eine_n%C3%A4chtliche_HalluzinationA German expressionist silent film. This is a pretty interesting and thoughtful examination/review (kind of funny too): moviessilently.com/2017/07/30/warning-shadows-1923-a-silent-film-review/amp/Interestingly, it has zero intertitles other than character introductions at the beginning. It's a little weird, and in my opinion, not the strongest film in this genre, but it's neat and worth checking out if you're bored. This is the best version I could find after doing some looking. It combines a few higher quality extant sources. The color tinting is nice in this one and as far as I can tell, original as mentioned at the beginning of the film introduction.

Genuine (1920) Another German expressionist film. This film is much more commonly circulated in a nearly half length version which makes it more confusing. Though that version is a bit better quality and has been released commercially the full length version is only available at a German film museum or was until someone leaked a copy undo YouTube. Here is the full version which is a bit more comprehendable in terms of the story. It is in general a story of a vampire or succubus. It's got that very odd aesthetic for the sets. If that's your thing, you may like it. moviessilently.com/2021/02/15/genuine-a-tale-of-a-vampire-1920-a-silent-film-review/

1921 Destiny
Three tales of attempts to overcome death as an event and as the figure. Linked to a main story. Pretty good movie.
