I saw clips from a bunch of surreal silent films, this being one of them. There was one with a cloaked and hooded figure was walking around and when he turned around, he had a mirror for a face. Does anyone know what movie this is?
SPOILER ALERT: Soylent Green is, in fact, people.
"Space is the Place" has a scene like that, but it's not a silent film so it's probably not be the one you're thinking of. It's possible that it's a reference to the film you saw, though, so maybe it's listed somewhere.

Meshes of the Afternoon (1943)
- The image of death with a mirror for a face reappears early in this film as Sun Ra rambles on about space philosophy.
