Silent Movie Day - The Oath of the Sword (1914) & BAAFF Preview Event

Presented by Northeastern University and Boston Asian American Film Festival Celebrate SILENT MOVIE DAY and the upcoming 15th <a href="https://baaff.org/">Boston Asian American Film Festival </a>with a festival preview, screening of The Oath of the Sword (1914), and panel conversation! The Oath of the Sword was produced in 1914 by a company described by Moving Picture World as the “first company in America to be owned, controlled and operated by Japanese.” Based in Los Angeles, the Japanese American Film Company was among several similar independent film companies established by Japanese during a period when the American film industry had yet to become Hollywood as we know it. The Oath of the Sword is the earliest known Asian American film production and illuminates a largely unknown chapter in American film history. Join us for the East Coast premiere of this recently REDISCOVERED &amp; RESTORED silent film treasure. Musical score arranged from period photoplay music, with additional original material, by Allen Feinstein. Orchestration for theatre orchestra by Allen Feinstein, Ben Green, and Jasmine Bryant. Following the film will be a panel discussion with<a href="https://cssh.northeastern.edu/faculty/denise-khor/"> Denise Khor</a>, <a href="https://www.deepfocusproductions.com/bio/">Arthur Dong</a>, and <a href="https://camd.northeastern.edu/faculty/allen-g-feinstein/">Allen Feinstein</a>, moderated by Susan Chinsen.
