EARLY ClNEMA
Primitives and Pioneers
A fascinating coIlection of 60 fiIms from the pre-1910 period of cinema is presented here with optionaI insightful commentary written by fiIm historian Barry SaIt. lt incIudes a selection of 35mm films such as Pathé's AIi Baba et Ies quarante voleurs and Magic Bricks, plus a newly restored and tinted version of Edwin S. Porter's The Great Train Robbery.
This double-disc set provides an entertaining look 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 NationaI FiIm and Television Archive, have been remastered for this collection which is a must for the fiIm enthusiast. This deIightful anthology comes with a new isolated improvised score in DoIby Digital provided by Neil Brand, Stephen Horne and John Sweeney, pianists at the NationaI Film Theatre in London.
Both discs incIude optional hard-of-hearing subtitIes.
