From alt.movies.silent:
IFC, which almost never shows silent films, has scheduled two for
broadcast in October: Pandora's Box on October 17, and Benjamin's
Christensen's Haxan on Halloween.
Haxan is a wonderful film, but it is not clear which version IFC is
showing. The original 1922 version runs to 104 min., while the 1968
re-release with narration by William Burroughs runs 76 min. The IFC
film notes says the film is 74 min., but it does not mention Burroughs,
and the scheduled time slot is long enough to accomodate the original
version.
Yay!
