The film and video distribution company, KinoLorber, working with the Library of Congress, will release a DVD collection of films by the first women filmmakers in November of 2018. Just in time for Christmas gift giving!
Here is the BAM Cinematek's description of the program:
BAM will be showing a series of films by early women filmmakers.
Alice Guy, later Madame Blaché, and after her divorce Alice Guy Blaché, was born on July 1, 1873, in a suburb of Paris. We can credit her with inventing film narrative language as we know it today.
The documentary, Be Natural, based in part on my book The Lost Visionary, premiered at Cannes this month. This is how the Hollywood Reporter describes the film:
Screen Studies is a digital platform thats takes users from script to screen and beyond – offering a broad range of content from Bloomsbury and Faber & Faber to support moving image studies.
In August of 2012 I posted a blog entitled Films by Alice Guy Lost and Found.
The article discussed two films that had recently been found and have now been preserved: Parson Sue and A Tramp’s Strategy.
It looked like The Coming of Sunbeam, another recent find, would get preserved, if it was not too late to save the film based on the elements available.
Mystery. Comedy. A murder in an old house where everyone is a suspect.
