Synopsis

Kino International is proud to announce the release of D. W. GRIFFITH MASTERWORKS 2, comprised of five newly restored Griffith features, a rare Biograph short and the DVD release of Kevin Brownlow and David Gill's three-part documentary D.W. GRIFFITH: FATHER OF FILM (1993).

Widely regarded as the father of American film, David Wark Griffith (1875-1948) revolutionized the language of cinema and transformed a five-cent novelty into an art form. His historical epics and Victorian melodramas achieved new heights of emotional richness, created unbearable dramatic tension, and sparked controversies that continue to rage, nearly a century later.
