  • "The genesis of the motion picture medium is recreated in this 5-part collection of the cinema's formative works which reveal the foundation from which the styles and plots of contemporary cinema would later evolve. This fifth program examines some of the integral works that begin to reflect the modern day cinema. Interspersed with authentic hand-tinted lantern slides used during early theatrical exhibitions."
  • "Films made between 1907 and 1913. This edition explores the definition of cinematic genres in the first years of the 20th Century, offering rare glimpses of the innovative visual comedy, with notable elements of slapstick (Max Linder, Keystone Kops). Two of the Pathe Freres' films also reflect this. Alice Guy Blaché is a good example of the films of social conscience, always an undercurrent beneath the apparently smooth surfaces of commercial productions. D. W. Griffith produced a superb film of wide emotional range and great technical virtuosity. Windsor McCay presented some prophetic and dazzling animations showcased in the Vitagraph Company."@en
  • "A compilation of comedies from the silent film era. Musical soundtrack added, no narration."
  • "Compilation de films muets expérimentaux, réalisés entre 1894 et 1910, qui explorent les débuts du cinéma au point de vue technique et artistique. Les films provenant d'archives ont été remasterisés aux États-Unis, en Angleterre puis en France. Le volume cinq démontre l'établissement d'un nouveau genre cinématographique: la comédie."
