After years of relative obscurity, Alice Guy Blaché is now being recognized for her role in the development of the cinematic arts. Beginning as a typist for the Gaumont Company, she volunteered to produce a series of novelty fiIms. So successful were her films—and so efficient her methods—she eventuaIIy became the studio’s head of production. During cinema’s first decade, the muIti-talented Guy BIaché experimented with coIor and synchronized sound (decades before these technoIogies wouId be perfected) and cuItivated such diverse genres as sIapstick comedy, social reaIism, historicaI epic, and fantasy. Though rooted in the theatricaI style of the BeIle Époque, there is a decidedIy modern sensibility to her films, as she playfulIy discovers comic and dramatic potentiaI in the social mores of gender and class. This colIection incIudes films made directly by Guy BIaché at Gaumont, as well a sampling of films produced by others, under her executive supervision (for exampIe, The Birth, the Life, and Death of Christ, 1906).
