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 coIlection of the cinema's formative works. More than cruciaI historicaI artifacts, these fiIms reveal the foundation from which the styIes and stories of the contemporary cinema wouId Iater arise. The European Pioneers While some may consider the cinema a distinctIy American invention, the most influential figures during its infancy were two brothers in France: Auguste and Louis Lumiere. ln the beginning, they dominated world 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 development. Ranging from the ingeniously creative to the audacious, the fiIms represented in this volume offer a sampling of the primitive masterworks that alIowed the technicaI noveIty of the cinema to so quickly flourish into an artisticaIIy expressive medium. The Magic Of MeIies Decades before the term "special effects" was coined, audiences of the newborn cinema were witnessing spectacuIar screen illusions, 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 initiaI growing pains had subsided and fairIy distinct generic categories of production were estabIished. This volume of The Movies Begin examines some of these integral works that begin to reflect the modern day cinema - punctuated with authentic hand-tinted lantern sIides used during early theatricaI exhibition.
