I thought it would be fun to poll everyone and discover where silent movie fans are located. We’re going pretty basic here, just a poll by continent. Feel free to share more info in the comments (specific country, etc.) if you feel comfortable but it is by no means required.
You know the drill: Click the continent that best matches your current location and you’re good to go! I went ahead and included a category for island nations because the question of whether or not they are part of a continent is for geographers and not silent film bloggers.
I know we’re international but I am curious to see just how international! I’ll publish the results next week.
