Cinema Europe: The Other Hollywood



Arts Documentary hosted by Kenneth Branagh, published by BBC in 1995 - English narration







Information

------------------------------



\"Cinema Europe: The Other Hollywood\" commemorates the birth of an art that would transform the 20th century. This six-hour series is narrated by critically acclaimed actor/director Kenneth Branagh with music composition by Carl Davis, Philip Appleby and Nic Raine. It was produced by Kevin Brownlow and David Gill, respected names in silent film scholarship, their previous made for television works include the 13-episode 1980 epic \"Hollywood: A Celebration of American Silent Film,\" \"Unknown Chaplin,\" \"Buster Keaton: A Hard Act to Follow,\" \"Harold Lloyd: The Third Genius\" and \"D.W. Griffith: Father of Film\", they had won Emmys and Peabodys and left both audiences and critics thinking they'd never seen anything quite like it. Dogged researchers, and intent on finding the best prints, Brownlow and Gill ransacked the world's great archives and private collections. Besides discovering fragments of films thought totally lost, like the Pola Negri-starring \"The Yellow Ticket\" and Ivor Novello in \"The Constant Nymph,\" they brought to light so much that about 90% of the films were not seen in 70 years.

This stylish and historical documentary focuses on the early days of the movie industry and the enormous contribution made by Europe. Included is rarely seen footage from early movies, from the very earliest efforts in the 1890's to the introduction of sound in the 1930's and interviews with some of the film industry's pioneers.

In six parts, Cinema Europe: the Other Hollywood shows the emergence of the first great stars and directors and the development of a cinematic language - all in Europe. Hollywood cinema might have conquered the world, but it was in Europe that it was born. 



Produced and directed by Kevin Brownlow & David Gill; A Photoplay production in association with BBC,ZDF/ARTE and D.L. Taffner(UK) Ltd



1)  Where It All Began 

This first programme traces the birth of the industry in Europe from the first moving pictures screened in 1895 through to the First World War. It contains glimpses of the hand-coloured fantasies of George Melies, the sly comedy of Max Linder, the epic vision of Abel Gance, warfilms from Italy, early action films from Denmark and propaganda films from Britain and Germany.

Going to the cinema in the last years of the 19th century wasn't much fun. You would probably be treated to such gripping titles as Leaving the Factory at Lyon or The Baby's Meal in a damp overcrowded tent that was likely to burn down (film being highly flammable). Things soon picked up, though, as this meticulous history of European cinema shows: by 1910, audiences were enjoying comedy, epics, romances and fantasies, some of them hand coloured, some of them even with sound.
