If you look on the little bright side of this tragic period, through the digital media principles, no escaping, we're witnessing the speeding-up of a process of rejuvenation in many areas of the silent film's world. Many people could take advantage of the connectivity fueled by these new technologies and as I expected at the start of this pandemic, perhaps the 21st century truly begins now, for good or ill.

We should not forget that this year marks the 50th anniversary of Harold Lloyd's passing, too. It looks like a good way to celebrate.
