Hell Bent for Election
Chuck Jones, Industrial Films and Poster Service, USA, 1944, 12:30. Chuck Jones took a break from directing Looney Tunes, Merrie Melodies and Private Snafu cartoons to make this labor-sponsored film for Franklin D. Roosevelt's 1944 Presidential campaign. It was produced by Industrial Film and Poster Service which, later rechristened UPA, earned animation immortality with Gerald McBoing Boing and the nearsighted Mr. Magoo. Blackhawk copied this film in 1975 from a nitrate 35mm Technicolor print in the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library at Hyde Park, New York.
For His Son
w/ Charles Hill Mailes; Charles West

PROGRAM THREE - TELL ME A STORY. D.W. Griffith, Biograph Co., USA, 1912, 14:52. D. W. Griffith directed For His Son in 1912, one of about 450 films he made for the pioneer Biograph Company. His works included every genre, and techniques he developed shaped screen narrative for two generations. Griffith was also a moralist, and made many films on the folly of unbridled ambition. Until the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906 put a stop to the practice, Coca-Cola actually contained cocaine. The Biograph negatives were posted as collateral for a bank loan and were put into storage after the pioneer producer ceased production in 1916. The negatives were donated by the bank in 1939 to The Museum of Modern Art, and pioneer television producer Paul Killiam bought commercial rights to them from the bank in 1952. Blackhawk later purchased this film among many 35mm elements Killiam made for his daily 15-minute syndicated show "Movie Museum." This is the first home video edition made directly from a 35mm element. Music by Sydney Jill Lehman.
Suspense (1913)
Lois Weber & Phillips Smalley, Rex Co., USA, 10:10. Suspense (1913) was directed by Lois Weber with her husband Phillips Smalley. Although there are earlier examples of some of Weber's impressive techniques, her bravura filmmaking more than makes up for the plot, which was swept into cinema from 19th-century grand guignol. Blackhawk's 35mm negative was made from one of two surviving original prints in Britain's National Film Archive, London. Music by Donald Sosin.
The Heart of an Indian
w/ Francis Ford; Ann Little; William Eagleshirt; Art Acord; Bob Kortman

Thomas Ince, Bison Co., USA, 1912, 32:20. Thomas Ince leased 17,000 acres of spectacular California land to produce rugged westerns like The Heart of an Indian, also known as The Indian Massacre (1913). With the men, livestock and wagons of the Miller Brothers-101 Wild West Show, it has the genuine and unglamorous "feel" of the frontier. The reissue British main title erroneously credits J. Barney Sherry in the lead; it is actually Francis Ford (made up as an Indian). This is one of approximately a dozen Ince productions acquired as original negatives by Paul Killiam from Harry Aitken, once President of Ince's original distribution company. Blackhawk purchased Killiam's 35mm master some fifty years after it was copied for (but never used in) Killiam's "Movie Museum." Music by Rodney Sauer.
Stolen Kisses
PROGRAM THREE - ONE FOR THE ROAD. compilation, c. 1920s, 3:30. In Giuseppe Tornatore's beautiful Cinema Paradiso (1988), the local priest previews the weekly film show and censors objectionable shots. Decades later the small boy in the film, now a middle-aged man, receives his legacy: the edited reel of all the excised snippets. The story was too good not to be true. Here, just as found near Brussels in 1997, is an actual reel of "stolen kisses". But prior to Lobster's acquisition, the clips had never been spliced together, so it is clear that the projectionist never intended to watch them again. Music by Eric le Guen.
