Kinema Junpo's "Best One" for this year is Small, Slow but Steady. Yukino Kishii also won best actress for the same film and some of her other work across the year. The rest of the results are in this month's magazine and usually online in a few weeks. https://www.kinejun.com/2023/02/01/post-20472/

I'd list the top Japanese films for 1924, but apparently #KinemaJunpo didn't consider them worth talking about until 1926! So that tells you something about their priorities #SilentFilm

#KinemaJunpo 1924 Best Aesthetic #SilentFilm
😍 = Extant
😭 = Lost
🤔 = idk

1. A Woman of Paris (1923) 😍
2. The Marriage Circle (1924) 😍
3. Camille (1921) 😍
4. Il richiamo (1921) 🤔
5. The Girl I Loved (1923) 😍

8. Boomerang Bill (1922) 😍/😭 (Incomplete)
9. The Eternal Flame (1922) 😍/😭 (Incomplete)
10. Trifling Women (1922) 😭

The big caveat to these two lists is that they come from #KinemaJunpo home of the pure film movement which, well, wanted to make films like the West. So this is a specific conception of #SIlentFilm.

Been reading up on Japanese silent cinema since I watched my first Ozu. Fascinating, if depressing due to the survival rate of Japanese films (4% estimated 😥 ). One things that's interesting is to see what foreign films were popular. So let's take a look at 1924! #SilentFilm #Japan #KinemaJunpo
