...Silent films. Once a larger part of TCM programming, mute cinema is now mostly confined to a Sunday-midnight niche - a glorious grotto, whose saints are Lon Chaney, Lillian Gish, John Gilbert, Marion Davies and other stars of MGM silents. The slot also is home to early masterworks from France (Jacques Feyder's Queen of Atlantis), Germany (F.W. Murnau's The Last Laugh) and Sweden (Victor Sjostrom's Phantom Carriage).

It’s almost blasphemous...
...intellectually and socially stifled. The Harvard music department gave off good vibes, and the great compositional faculty attracted me here.” Since arriving at Harvard, Schachter has been a fixture on the university’s music scene. He plays piano and bass with both the Sunday and Monday Jazz Bands, has composed on commission for various ensembles, and has enjoyed the opportunity to perform alongside Herbie Hancock, Aaron Goldberg, and other jazz legends. Schacher credits Harvard Universiy Bands director Thomas G. Everett with getting him to “listen to good stuff?...
