1911 Preview

No music from 1911 is jumping out at me, however there are a few films I'm looking forward to watching. Giovanni Pastrone's La caduta di Troia [The Fall of Troy] was one his last short's before the epic Cabiria was released in 1914. Also this year, Giuseppe de Liguoro gave us one of motion picture's earliest major milestones. L'Inferno [Dante's Inferno] was Italy's first full length feature film (over an hour in length) and an international success.

I've also found links to 2 well rated/reviewed D.W. Griffith shorts. The Lonedale Operator is noteable for its' early use of the "close-up".

There's little else looking of interest this month, so I would really welcome some suggestions.
