A silent film is a film with no synchronized recorded sound, especially spoken dialogue. The idea of combining motion pictures with recorded sound is nearly as old as film itself, but because of the technical challenges involved, most films were silent before the late 1920s. The silent film era is sometimes referred to as the "Age of the Silver Screen".

- Silent films were were a popular form of entertainment on Earth in the early 20th century. They involved miming with no sound. Two of the most popular figures in the medium were Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin. Chaplin impersonators like Archie Maplin made silent films as well. Other people involved in making silent films in Hollywood included Matthew Finnegan, Emily Winter, Leo Miller and Maximilian Love. (COMIC: Silver Scream) The renegade Time Lady Iris Wildthyme worked as an extra in several silent films, including one about Boudica. (AUDIO: The Elixir of Doom)
- The first projected sequential proto-movie was made by Eadweard Muybridge some time between 1877 and 1880. The first narrative film was created by Louis Le Prince in 1888. It was a two-second film of people walking in Oakwood streets garden, entitled Roundhay Garden Scene. The art of motion pictures grew into full maturity in the "silent era"(1894-1929) before silent films were replaced by "talking pictures" in the late 1920s. Many film scholars and buffs argue that the aesthetic quality of cinema decreased for several years until directors, actors, and production staff adapted to the new "talkies".

Many film scholars and buffs argue that the aesthetic quality of cinema decreased for several years until directors, actors, and production staff adapted to the new "talkies". The visual quality of silent movies—especially those produced in the 1920s—was often high. However, there is a widely held misconception that these films were primitive and barely watchable by modern standards. This misconception comes as a result of silent films being played back at wrong speed and their deteriorated condition. Many silent films exist only in second- or third-generation copies, often copied from already damaged and neglected film stock.
