San Francisco Silent Film Festival is the US’s largest silent-film showcase, held every year at Castro Theatre since 1996.
Judith Sheldon and her husband Wylie Sheldon have been found dead in their running Jeep Compass on Interstate 5 near Lake Shasta, California. Authorities say foul play is not suspected, with heat likely a factor. The couple were prominent figures in San Francisco's arts scene and supporters of the silent film community.
