AFI’s Silent Cinema Showcase returns with another selection of newly restored screen classics and rare gems from the silent era. Filmed in the deserts of California (in what is now the Joshua Tree National Park), CLASH OF THE WOLVES marks the cinematic pinnacle of the original Rin Tin Tin, a German Shepherd rescued from a World War I battlefield and brought to America, where he became a screen sensation. Rinty stars as Lobo, leader of a pack of wolves hunted by the authorities. Through an act of kindness, prospector Dave Weston (Charles Farrell, 7TH HEAVEN) earns Lobo's trust. When a claim-jumper later attempts to murder Weston, Lobo performs extraordinary feats to demonstrate the depths of his loyalty.
