In 2012, City of Ithaca Mayor Svante Myrick proclaimed October in Ithaca as Silent Movie Month, a month-long celebration of silent film and Ithaca’s role in early movie making history produced by Wharton Studio Museum in collaboration with many local organizations.  Join WSM each October for screenings, exhibits, and events at Cornell Cinema, Cinemapolis, and many other local venues.

SILENT MOVIE MONTH 2025

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Silent Movie Month screenings and events! Let's continue to make noise about silent film!
