Overview

A 3 Part Collection of More Than 75 Early Films by Alice Guy, Louis Feuillade and LĆ©once Perret. The invention of cinemaā€”and its growth into a sophisticated art formā€”are vividly brought to life in this massive collection of films from the early years of the influential Gaumont Film Company. Each disc is devoted to one of Gaumontā€™s artistic directors, who oversaw all film production at the studio, and profoundly influenced not only the identity of the studio but also the evolution of the cinema itself.
