Short Film Saturday: Sidney’s Family Tree
The films I share in my 31 Days of Oscar posts tend to get lost in the shuffle, so I’ll be featuring them on Short Film Saturday to give them their due.
Sidney’s Family Tree (1958)
Month: July 2026
Free Movie Friday: The Sins of the Children (1930)
Watch if you’re up for some classic Pre-Code melodrama.
Short Film Saturday: The Violinist (1959)
The films I share in my 31 Days of Oscar posts tend to get lost in the shuffle, so I’ll be featuring them on Short Film Saturday to give them their due.
The Violinist (1959)
Free-Movie Friday: Hell-Bound Train (1930)
This was a film I first viewed on the Criterion Channel.
It’s a morality tale from the Jazz Age and a milestone in early Black cinema, which only remains extant thanks to preservation efforts of cobbling together partial prints to restore the whole. As such it has been included in the National Film Registry.
