Episode 4
Wednesday, 25 March, 2026
Thomas Christensen is Curator at the Danish Film Institute, so it stands to reason that all of his selections hail from Denmark. All but one of them come in at “feature length” (and from the same director) as well, reflecting the country’s place in advancing film grammar, subjects, and character psychology at a crucial transitional time.Thomas also serves on the Executive Committee of the European Cinematheque Association and served on the FIAF Technical Commission from 2003 to 2015. He has recently been involved in a project digitizing all surviving Danish silent films from 1896 to 1929.Visit the5bestfilmsofeveryyearever.com/list to submit your own top five for 1911!Films and resources mentioned:The Black Dream (1911) - Urban GadTemptations of a Great City (1911) - August BlomIn the Hands of Imposters (1911) - August BlomThe Price of Beauty (1911) - August BlomThe Girl Behind the Counter (1911) - August BlomThe Execution (1903) - Peter ElfeltThe Abyss (1910) - Urban GadL’Inferno (1911) - Francesco Bertolini, Giuseppe de Liguoro, and Adolfo PadovanLion Hunting (1907) - Viggo LarsenThe Ballet Dancer (1911) - August BlomThe Two Gold Diggers (1909) - Viggo LarsenThe White Slave Trade (1910) - Alfred CohnThe White Slave Trade (1910) - August BlomThe Dangerous Age (1927) - Eugen IllésDouble Indemnity (1944) - Billy WilderThe Clown (1917) - A.W.
