More Treasures DVD

WHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING

"For those who do not know silent film, 'More Treasures' is a superb introduction to a world of unique beauty and expressivity; for committed cinephiles, it is simply nine and a half hours of ecstasy."
—Dave Kehr, The New York Times

"This box set is both a spectacular entertainment package and a cornerstone of our collective memory."
—Joe Williams, St. Louis Dispatch

"This DVD Boxset is so professionally created that it almost brings me to tears. This is the history and evolution of film. It can be given nothing but 5 out of 5 stars."
—Gary Tooze, DVDBeaver.com

"This is a marvelous opportunity for film buffs and students to see rare material in pristine form."
—Leonard Maltin, Leonard Maltin's Video View

"BLISS—that's what this set should be called. This is a time machine folks. Literally, step inside and you'll be taken away to cities and times that'll just make you smile."
—Harry Knowles, Ain't It Cool News (scroll down)

"This impressive new three-disc set is a must-have for any serious film student."
—Susan King, Los Angeles Times

"This is a collection one could get lost in for days and savor for years."
—Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

"Essential viewing for anyone interested in the history of the motion picture."
—Mark Zimmer, DigitallyObsessed.com

"Watching these films one is struck by the sense of the experimental, the freedom, the awkwardness, the deliriously creative chaos from which Hollywood was birthed, a magnificent cinematic solar system from celluloid cosmic dust."
—Wade Major, BoxOffice.com

"More Treasures feels more like, well, a treasure chest of carefully considered antiques. More than a dozen historians and preservationists provide background-loaded commentary tracks for the collection. The soundtracks are period-approriate and varied rather than the usual tinkling pianos heard on new videos of old films. The 186 pages of program notes are absorbing, accessible, and opinionated."
—Christopher Borrelli, Toledo Blade

"This edition is almost 10 hours of treasurable cinemania."
—Michael Atkins, Village Voice

"A collection as fascinating and entertaining as it is edifying...it's a box full of wonders that is practically inexhaustible."
—Glenn Kenny, Premiere

"As this invaluable collection reminds us, the history of cinema is just beginning."
—Brad Stevens, Sight and Sound

"More Treasures from American Film Archives...is also a fascinating history of film music."
—Lloyd Schwartz, Fresh Air
