Young voices on 'old cinema'... again again!
from HippCast · host The Hippodrome Silent Film Festival
After a brief podcast break to deliver HippFest 2026, we're back in the audiosphere with the third iteration of our Young voices on 'old cinema' mini-series, featuring thoughts and reflections from some of our young attendees. In this month's release we hear from Kitty Volino, a 19-year-old student who tuned in online from the Scottish Borders, plus 16-year-old Izzie Middleton, who joined us in-person in beautiful Bo'ness. Expect discussion on the whole gamut of silent film viewing - the combination of music and film, silent era happy endings, the feeling of 'watching together', intertitles, tinting, Baby Peggy - plus some stranger tangents (yes, Christina does mention Married At First Sight). Enjoy!Additional reading/ relevant links:A full transcript of this episode is available hereMore information about Young ScotCaptain January (novel) Wikipedia page, as discussedTweet: Clip of Buster Keaton stunts alongside 'how it's made', as discussedListen to our 2025 'Young voices' episodeListen to our 2024 'Young voices' episodeP.S Yes we do have a new musical hook!
