Hollywood – Geschichten aus der Stummfilmzeit

Hollywood (also known as Hollywood: A Celebration of the American Silent Film) is a multi-BAFTA award winning 1980 documentary series produced by Thames Television which explored the establishment and development of the Hollywood studios[1] and their impact on 1920s culture.[2] At the 1981 BAFTA television awards, it won Best Factual Series, Best Film Editing and Best Graphics.[3][4][5]

The series has seldom been released on home video formats, apparently due to the complexity of obtaining home video rights to all of the film clips used. As of early 2020 it remains unavailable.[6]

In 1995, Brownlow and Gill produced the followup series, Cinema Europe: The Other Hollywood, which explores the rise of the silent film industry in Sweden, Germany, France and Great Britain.
