Okay, quick rundown of how I divide silent movie history:
1. Pre-Cinema: Early animation devices, peepshow devices, magic lantern shows, any movie not projected onto a screen
This one is tricky because peepshows existed alongside projected cinema but generally, pre-1895.

1895-1904
1905-1912
1913-1919
1920-1928
I was aware they had existed but had never seen one.
It was fun to get to actually enjoy watching a little film on one!
Sigh...
