What is KINO-POLS?

It's a project created by @mcelreath.bsky.social to make it more enjoyable to browse and watch the huge amount of public domain early cinema on the web.

This began as a personal experimental project and developed into something that I believed would be genuinely useful.

Introducing KINO-POLIS 🎞️ — a personal screening room for early cinema.

Films from 1896 to the 1930s, free to watch, organized into collections like German Expressionism, Soviet Montage, and Early Hitchcock

Come get lost in the movies that invented movies.
