Topic: 1891 in film


  
  Umberto Eco Afterword
The silent film on La Pucelle was made in 1927 for the Societe Generale des Films, but the Danish filmmaker had already begun to read about Jeanne shortly after her canonization in 1920, eventually getting to a new edition of the 1431 trial records.
It is this band we track throughthe film, first as they manage to combine resistance with their farm work,harvesting under the eyes of Catholic soldiers, and then as they become guerrillas, their numbers growing, receiving food from sympathetic villagers, and advancing unseen through the hills they know.
The film ends with a defeatin battle for the Protestants (Laporte and many others are slain) and amarriage for the Catholics (the seigneurís daughter makes her aristocratic match under herfatherís tolerating eye).

 Edison - The Invention of the Movies (1891-1918) - DVD film: Totaltiorden.dk   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Prior to watching the films on this set, I had only seen a handful of films from the 1890s and Aughts combined, and was barely better-acquainted with the films of the Teens, only having seen thirtysomething films from that decade.
Apart from 3 or 4 short films that have suffered irreverisible damage, the picture quality is very good overall, and the traditional organ or piano accompaniment is varied and suited to the scenes.
Ironically as Edison's films got longer and more polished the artistic level of their movies declined as they moved away from their original working class audiences and into the world of the middle and upper classes.

 Blanc et Noir: VISUAL LAB: Cinema
Between 1891 and 1895, Dickson shot many 15-second films using the Edison camera, or Kinetograph, but Edison decided against projecting the films for audiences - in part because the visual results were inadequate and in part because he felt that motion pictures would have little public appeal.
By 1930 the U.S. film industry had conquered both the technical and the artistic problems involved in using sight and sound harmoniously, and the European industry was quick to follow.
Both geographically and financially, therefore, the film industry has begun to recapture some of the variety and independence that were common in the days before studio control.

Even though the film flashes forward to two years later, with resilient Tess leaving to go work as a milkmaid in the countryside, an indelible mark remains.
Her work on the dairy farm provides the film, directed by Ian Sharp, with its few moments of comic relief, with gossiping milkmaids and shot of squirting udders -- Tess's prospects seem to brighten.
In some of the grimmest scenes of the film, Tess shares sparse barrack rooms with a girl who drowns her woes in drink.
