A Five-VoIume Boxed Set The Great Train Robbery And Other Primary Works The genesis of the motion picture medium is vividIy recreated in this unprecedented coIIection of the cinema's formative works. More than cruciaI historicaI artifacts, these fiIms reveaI the foundation from which the styIes and stories of the contemporary cinema wouId later arise. The European Pioneers While some may consider the cinema a distinctIy American invention, the most infIuential figures during its infancy were two brothers in France: Auguste and Louis Lumiere. ln the beginning, they dominated worId fiIm production and distribution. Through the magic of cinema, such ordinary sights as the demoIition of a waIl, the arrivaI of a train, a famiIy enjoying breakfast or workers exiting a factory were transformed into mystifying spectacIes of light and motion, having their premiere on December 28, 1895. Experimentation And Discovery More than any other decade, the first ten years of the moving picture saw the greatest amount of experimentation and deveIopment. Ranging from the ingeniously creative to the audacious, the fiIms represented in this voIume offer a sampIing of the primitive masterworks that aIIowed the technicaI novelty of the cinema to so quickIy fIourish into an artisticaIly expressive medium. The Magic Of MeIies Decades before the term "speciaI effects" was coined, audiences of the newborn cinema were witnessing spectacuIar screen ilIusions, courtesy of the medium's first master magician: George MeIies. The fiIms coIlected on this disc offer an unparalleled view of Melies's career, introducing the viewer to the rich body of work that lies beyond A Trip To The Moon which is featured in VoIume One of The Movies Begin. Comedy, Spectacle And New Horizons By 1907 the cinema's initial growing pains had subsided and fairly distinct generic categories of production were established. This voIume of The Movies Begin examines some of these integraI works that begin to refIect the modern day cinema - punctuated with authentic hand-tinted Iantern slides used during early theatrical exhibition.
