[falsealarms]

A presentation with film historian and author John Bengtson. For over 20 years, John has researched the visual history of early Hollywood and other vintage locations as depicted in classic movies featuring silent film comedians Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd. He combines image clips from the movies with archival photographs, historic maps and scores of then-and-now comparison to create a stunning work of cinematic archeology.

John’s work has resulted in several books as well as a blog that is continuously updated with new findings.

In this webinar, John focuses on silent movie locations in Downtown Los Angeles and Hollywood.
