David Llewelyn Wark "D. W." Griffith (January 22, 1875 – July 23, 1948), the "Inventor of Hollywood", was an American film director who pioneered modern film-making techniques. He is mostly remembered for the groundbreaking 1915 film The Birth of a Nation, as well as its sequel Intolerance (1916). He is closely associated with his frequent leading lady, Lillian Gish.
Griffith began making short films in 1908, and released his first feature, Judith of Bethulia, in 1913. His film The Birth of a Nation made pioneering use of advanced camera and narrative techniques, and its immense popularity set the stage for the dominance of the feature-length film in the United States. Since its release, the film has been highly controversial for its negative depiction of African Americans and glorification of the Ku Klux Klan. Today it is both lionized for its radical technique and condemned for its racist philosophy. Filmed at a cost of $110,000, it returned millions of dollars in profits, making it, perhaps, the most profitable film of all time, although a full accounting has never been made. The film was subject to boycotts by the NAACP and, after screenings of the film had caused riots at several theaters, the film was censored in many cities, including New York City. Intolerance, his next important film, was, in part, an answer to his critics.

INDEPENDENT LENS | Birth of a Movement | D.W. Griffith: Son of the South | PBS
In this excerpt from the Independent Lens documentary Birth of a Movement, we learn about the childhood of iconic silent filmmaker D.W. Griffith, director of the controversial blockbuster Birth of a Nation, who was born 10 years after the end of the Civil War. He grew up in a South that was romanticized for him through folklore -- reflected in his film -- despite the fact that he grew up in poverty and, as film archivist and Griffith expert Ira Gallen says in the film, was basically considered "white trash."

The Lonely Villa (1909) D. W. Griffith
_*The Lonely Villa*_ is a thriller film directed by https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLue4rhsHxp6_uP_av6zYT1tGgyQXcgWGB
written by *Mack Sennett* and based on the play _Au telephone_ by *André de Lorde* . It movie was produced by *Biograph Company* and released the 10th of June 1909.
In this film, *Griffith* makes masterful use of "intercutting". This technique is intended to express the contemporaneity between two or more actions and consists in building a sequence by alternating the scenes that compose it according to the scheme: A1, B1, A2, B2… etc. In this film, Griffith alternates not two but three different scenes: the women barricaded in the house (7:52), the thieves who try to enter (8:29), the father who runs to rescue them (9:52). Griffith passes from one scene to the other, cr...

The intercutting technique of editing became common amongst American directors only from 1912.
