Alice Guy Blaché: Cinema Pioneer
No Customer Reviews
This book celebrates the achievements of Alice Guy Blach? (1873-1968), the first woman motion picture director and producer. From 1896 to 1907, she created films for Gaumont in Paris. In 1907, she moved to the United States and established her own film company, Solax. From 1914 to 1920, Guy Blach? was an independent director for a number of film companies. Despite her immensely productive and creative career, Guy Blach?'s indispensable contribution to film history has been overlooked. She entered the world of filmmaking at its nascent stage, when films were seen primarily as a medium in the service of science or as an adjunct to selling cameras. Working with Gaumont cameramen and cameras and the new technical advances for the projection of film, she became one of the film pioneers ushering in the new era of motion pictures as a narrative form. Written by cinema history experts and curators, this handsome volume brings to light a critical new mass of Guy Blach?'s film oeuvre in an effort to restore her to her rightful place in film history.
