French silent films of the 1920s, among them the formal experiments of La Roue and the austere close-ups of Carl Theodor Dreyer's The Passion of Joan of Arc, made in France. A work belongs here when its article calls it a French silent film. It excludes French epics, serials and avant-garde shorts, which sit in their own groups. Works are placed by what their cited article states about their country, form and period, and each work sits in exactly one group of this subcategory, so a film that fits two traditions goes where its article places it first.
