Le Giornate del Cinema Muto (in English referred to as Pordenone Silent Film Festival) is a festival of silent film in Pordenone, Italy, the world's largest such festival.Richie Meyer, "Reel News" (Seattle International Film Festival), Autumn 2007, p.8]

The festival was founded in 1981 by students hoping to bolster the moral of earthquake victims in Northern Italy. Their itinerant show of old silent films eventually found a stable home in Pordenone.

The 2006 festival, the silver anniversary, featured nine days of silent films all with live musical accompaniment. Each year the festival features a national archive that has restored lost or disintegrating films; in 2006 the Danish Film Institute presented 28 works of the Nordisk Film Company, dating 1903–1926, Carl Dreyer's "Leaves from Satan's Book".
