Home›Silent and Early Cinema Landmarks›Release Year›By Decade›1920sBrowse By1920sThis dimension places a media work in the year it was actually released to the public. Wikipedia notes principal photography on Citizen Kane "took place in 1940... and the film was released in 1941," a short gap by the standards of film production. Browsing by release year sets a work in the wider timeline of media history.Facts1920sSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonEra of EmergenceWell-attested1894 11920sFilter Results67 entriesCollectionAllAmerican Silent Comedies (8)American Silent Dramas and Adventures (22)American Silent Horror and Fantasy Films (5)British Silent and Early Sound Films (3)Early Black American Cinema (2)Experimental and Avant-Garde Shorts (1)French Silent Films (3)German Expressionist and Weimar Silent Films (10)Silent Epics and Spectacles (2)Soviet Montage Cinema (3)Swedish and Scandinavian Silent Films (2)The Transition to Sound, 1928 and 1929 (3)CreatorAllAbel Gance (2)Albert Parker (1)Alfred Hitchcock (2)Allan Dwan (1)Benjamin Christensen (1)Buster Keaton (3)Carl Boese (1)Carl Theodor Dreyer (1)Cecil B.
