The AFI Silver Classic Film Weekend returns with an immersive lineup of stunning new restorations, big-screen rarities, silent films with live musical accompaniment, 35mm prints and astonishing pre-Code pictures. Festival guests and film scholars will introduce each film.
The full lineup will be announced at a later date.
This series is co-curated by author, archivist and film historian David Pierce.
All silent films are co-presented as part of this year’s 2026 Silent Cinema Showcase (Oct. 23–Nov. 15).
