Silent Movie Month
every October since 2012
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.
2026 marks our 15th year of this month-long celebration of silent film -- local and otherwise. Our theme this year is Altered States in Silent Cinema and we have a wonderful lineup of films and events. WSM is very glad to once again be partnering with Cinemapolis and Cornell Cinema on Silent Movie Month. And with Odyssey Book Store!
