		Gaumont decided that her ‘comings and goings’ were becoming too physically taxing on her and offered to fix up a small house he owned at the end of the Rue des Sonneries.
		In her later films of the 1910s, when she was working in the United States, she insisted on the acting to be more ‘like real life.’ She even posted a sign, ‘Be Natural,’ on the walls of her studio.
		Film societies have run retrospectives on her work and she was included in a special documentary on early women filmmakers presented on the American Movie Classics cable network.

		These films were made on very low budgets, compared to the mass of more ordinary films, and they were supported by the circuit of ciné-clubs that grew up in France during the 1920s.
		It was not only the avant-garde films, but also the ordinary French films of the time, that were little seen in other countries, partly as a result of the latter’s poor production values, and partly as a result of their somewhat out-of-date style.
		His second film for the company, La Chienne (1931, with Michel Simon), was so controversial dramatically and technically that Renoir was only able to save it from Richebé, who was demanding that it be re-edited, by appealing, at Braunberger’s suggestion, to the company’s principal investor, a shoe manufacturer, through the latter’s mistress.

	Fantomas (Fantômas) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		As artistic director of the Gaumont film company, Louis Feuillade was keen to capitalise on the success of the Fantômas series of novels, written by Pierre Souvestre et Marcel Allain.
		Although Feuillade did tone down the ending of this film to be less horrific than the original novel, it does have a chilling sense of realism, driven by the dramatic suspense in the narrative and the eerie use of light and shadow in the photography.
		Not only is the film exemplary from the point of view of its direction, but the acting is also quite impressive, to the point that you hardly notice the absence of dialogue.

		These short films were called "actualities." Very little storytelling took place before the turn of the century, due mostly to technological limitations: cameras could hold only very small amounts of film; many of the first films are a minute or less in length.
		Yet few were willing to concede that film, with its roots in pulp fiction, comic strips, popular photography and melodrama, was an art, dismissing it as a fairground attraction or a magician's prop.
		The film was not pornographic, of course, but heralded a new era in the erotic industry which has now, in very recent years, reached another stage with the video tape, cable and satellite television productions of pornography.

		PARIS It used to be said that Gaumont was one of the most "French" of all of the major Gallic production houses, with little time or appetite for pies that didn't come from its home turf.
		And while the move into English has so far been led by Gaumont's long-standing relationship with Besson, the French major is now backing other directors as part of a strategy to finance a mix of big-budget pies and lesser costing projects.
		In many ways, Gaumont is the nearest the French have to a Hollywood studio, with the main company offering various development, house-keeping or first look deals to a series of producers.
