A place to share your favourite silent film gifs.
Please use the following title formatting, when posting: · Film Name - Director/s (YYYY)
How to upload? - Right now Lemmy.world (and other Lemmy Instances) don't accept gifs uploads. Convert your gif to apng or webp to upload (you can use some online and offline programs). Please try to keep the files small.
How to see? - Gifs in 'apng' won't play automatically in some instances in webview and you need to open the image in a new tab (they do in Voyager for example). Gifs in 'webp' format should play fine in webview and in most Lemmy apps.

"Hypocrites, also known as The Hypocrites and The Naked Truth, is a 1915 silent drama film written and directed by Lois Weber. The film contains several full nude scenes, and is said to include the first appearance of full frontal nudity in a non-pornographic film by an American actress. The film is regarded as anticlerical, and the nudity was justified by its religious context."
