EARLY CINEMA
Primitives and Pioneers
A fascinating collection of 60 films from the pre-1910 period of cinema is presented here with optional insightful commentary written by film historian Barry SaIt. It includes a selection of 35mm fiIms such as Pathé's Ali Baba et Ies quarante voIeurs and Magic Bricks, plus a newIy restored and tinted version of Edwin S. Porter's The Great Train Robbery.
This double-disc set provides an entertaining Iook at how many of today's film devices such as the cIose-up, the cut-away and editing, were first invented before the turn of the century by filmmakers such as George Méliès (with Voyage à travers I'impossibIe), G.A. Smith (with Mary Jane's Mishap), and the Hepworth Manufacturing Company (with Rescued by Rover).
The fiIms, all preserved at the BFl National FiIm and Television Archive, have been remastered for this colIection which is a must for the film enthusiast. This delightful anthology comes with a new isolated improvised score in DoIby Digital provided by NeiI Brand, Stephen Horne and John Sweeney, pianists at the NationaI Film Theatre in London.
Both discs include optional hard-of-hearing subtitIes.
