EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the Babylonian sequence in David Wark Griffith's groundbreaking film, "Intolerance" released in 1916. The image showcases the grandeur and scale of early American filmmaking, with a bustling crowd and intricate set design that transports viewers to ancient Babylon. In this particular moment frozen in time, we see an impressive architectural structure adorned with ornate carvings and towering columns. People are scattered throughout the scene, some engaged in lively dancing while others simply observe the spectacle unfolding before them. An elephant stands majestically at the forefront, adding an element of exoticism to this visual extravaganza. The significance of "Intolerance" lies not only in its technical achievements but also its exploration of themes such as social injustice and religious intolerance across different historical periods. As one of cinema's earliest silent films, it paved the way for future filmmakers to experiment with storytelling techniques and push artistic boundaries. This print is part of The Granger Collection's Carousel collection, which preserves iconic moments from film history. It serves as a testament to the enduring impact of "Intolerance" on both American cinema and global culture at large.
