Step back in time and explore the fascinating world of silent films shot on California’s idyllic Channel Islands. Hundreds of silent movies, featuring stars like Gloria Swanson, Rudolph Valentino, Douglas Fairbanks, Buster Keaton, Oliver Hardy, and Stan Laurel, were filmed on these scenic shores, with daring actors performing stunts like cliff-jumping, battling pirates, and swimming with sharks.

Green as she presents a talk based on her latest book, Silents on the Islands: Silent Movies Filmed on California’s Channel Islands, the third in her silent-movie series.
