Book Presentation:
A NEW HISTORY OF EARLY CINEMA IN PARIS!
• The oversize cabbages tell you this is a fantasy while the fairy beckons you to observe the pleasant unreality of babies born in a garden.
• This 1900 film is frequently made to stand in for Alice Guy’s 1896 debut film which is still lost.
• With new documentary evidence from 1896 and close attention to the relevant circumstances, this book presents multiple points of confirmation that Alice Guy directed her first version of this film in 1896.
• From memoirs, newspapers, letters, public records, and photographs, we gain a sense of how the first La Fée aux Choux surprised and delighted its audience, and how it awoke the world of theater, entertainment, and artistic expression to a new medium.
