I saw that too. I can only assume, not being really savvy about the font world, that they are simply knock-offs, the legality of which, I do not know.
Sorry!

Frank,
The site you recommended sells the font for $30.
However, I noticed that it can be downloaded for free from here:
http://www.fonts101.com/fonts/view/Uncategorized/30288/Silentina_Film
Or here:
http://www.fontpalace.com/font-download/Silentina+Film/
I wonder what the difference might be, other than cost? Knock-offs?

Silentina is used often in actual silent film restorations...

Problem is, most intertitles were hand lettered, so a font looks too uniform to the picky, but I don't know of anyone who still practices the art of hand lettering for signs.
Of course, by hand-kerning the text, you can get a lot closer to a more agreeable look.
