Alice Guy-Blaché

biography: Alice Guy-Blaché (July 1, 1873 – March 24, 1968) is generally considered to be the world's first female director. French-born Alice Guy entered the film business as a secretary at Gaumont-Paris in 1896. The next year Gaumont changed from manufacturing cameras to producing movies, and Guy became one of its first film directors. She impressed the company so much with the output (she averaged two two-reelers a week) and quality of her productions that by 1905 she was made the company's production director, supervising the company's other directors. In 1907 she married Herbert Blaché, an Englishman who ran the company's British and German offices. The pair soon went to the U.S. to set up the company's operations there. In 1910 she set up her own production company in New York and built a studio in Fort Lee, New Jersey. After a period of critical and financial success, her company's fortunes declined and she eventually shut down the studio. Although she secured work directing films for several major Hollywood studios, she returned to France in 1922 after her divorce from Blache. She was never able to secure any directorial jobs there, and never made a film again. In 1964 she returned to the U.S. and lived in Mahwah, New Jersey - not far from where her original studios were - with her daughters, where she died in 1968.

Née Alice Guy (1er juillet 1873 - 24 mars 1968) est généralement considérée comme la première femme réalisatrice au monde. Née en France, Alice Guy est entrée dans le monde du cinéma en tant que secrétaire chez Gaumont-Paris en 1896. L'année suivante, Gaumont passe de la fabrication d'appareils photo à la production de films, et Alice Guy devient l'un de ses premiers réalisateurs. Elle impressionne tellement la société par le rendement (elle produit en moyenne deux films de deux bobines par semaine) et la qualité de ses productions qu'en 1905, elle est nommée directrice de production de la société et supervise les autres réalisateurs. En 1907, elle épouse Herbert Blaché, un Anglais qui dirige les bureaux britannique et allemand de la société. Le couple se rend bientôt aux États-Unis pour y mettre en place les activités de la société. En 1910, elle crée sa propre société de production à New York et construit un studio à Fort Lee, dans le New Jersey. Après une période de succès critique et financier, la fortune de sa société décline et elle finit par fermer le studio. Bien qu'elle ait trouvé du travail comme réalisatrice pour plusieurs grands studios hollywoodiens, elle retourne en France en 1922 après son divorce avec Blaché. Elle n'a jamais été en mesure d'y trouver un emploi de réalisatrice et n'a plus jamais tourné de film. En 1964, elle retourne aux États-Unis et vit avec ses filles à Mahwah, dans le New Jersey, non loin de l'endroit où se trouvaient ses premiers studios, où elle meurt en 1968.

biography: Alice Guy o Alice Guy-Blaché (Saint-Mandé, França, 1 de juliol de 1873 - Mahwah, Nova Jersey, 24 de març de 1968), directora de cinema francesa, històricament va ser la primera persona a tot el món a exercir aquest ofici, i inventora de la ficció cinematogràfica i del cinema narratiu. Va ser pionera en l'ús dels efectes especials, la ciència-ficció fílmica, els càstings interracials, el llenguatge cinematogràfic (plans, il·luminació, attrezzo, muntatge, caracterització...) i fundadora del que més endavant s'ha considerat la professió de productor executiu. Va filmar més de mil pel·lícules curtes al llarg de la seva vida, de les qual se'n conserven 350, i fundà diverses productores a França i Estats Units, com Solax Estudis a Flushing, Nova York. Tot i que va lluitar per ser reconeguda internacionalment com a directora, actriu i productora, la història del cinema va esborrar la seva contribució i va atribuir les seves pel·lícules al seu marit, als seus directors de fotografia, a persones anònimes, o bé directament no van ser ni mencionades.

title: Qui est Alice Guy?

overview: A compelling investigation aimed at restoring the legacy of a fundamental yet often overlooked figure: Alice Guy, the first female director in history. Utilizing rare archival materials and staged scenes depicting moments from her life, the film traces the career of this pioneer who played a key role in the transition of cinema into a narrative medium. The work goes beyond celebrating her technical milestones —such as her early experiments with sound or the founding of an independent production company in the United States— to offer a sharp critique of the historical silence and erasure imposed on her work by scholars and film archives. Ultimately, the documentary serves as a necessary act of rediscovery to uncover the deep roots of female creativity in the cinematic world and challenges the traditional narratives that have long excluded women as active creative forces

Cosey Fanni Tutti (born Christine Carol Newby, 4 November 1951) is an English performance artist, musician and writer, best known for her time in the avant-garde groups Throbbing Gristle and Chris & Cosey.

Tutti first performed under the name Cosmosis. According to Throbbing Gristle biographer Simon Ford, the name of Cosey Fanni Tutti was suggested to her by artist Robin Klassnick based on the title of the opera Così fan tutte, meaning literally "That's What All Women Do."

Tutti had a long career as a stripper and in the fields of pornographic film and magazines stemming from a desire to incorporate her own image into collages that she produced in this period. This willingness to consciously participate in the process of commercial image production has inspired a number of visual and performance artists. Some of her performance artwork has also drawn on her experience as an adult performer.

title: The Silent Cry

overview: 'The Silent Cry is a fictionalised narrative film, based on documentary facts and extracts of one English girl's memories and thoughts, all surrounded, and directed towards her particular dilemma. This dilemma can be summarized as her basic inability to have relationships, especially sustained relationships, and particularly with men. This is the total of her statement and the film. The construction and flow of the film follows the way she thinks - it is her point of view that is followed in the film. So all things are the way she remembers and dwells on them, and which are important to her.' - S.D.

title: Phoelix

overview: An aged art connoisseur (Beaumont) and his young female neighbour (Coles), who has a job posing naked in a club, meet and exist in fantasy and reality. Although this raises certain much-discussed questions about the nature of representation, and about the construction of narrative and daydreams in films, 'Phoelix' tends to treat these as just pretty and pertinent issues, opting instead for a mannered concentration on detail.

title: Shadows from Light

overview: Born in 1904, Brandt was a shy and enigmatic man who dominated British photography for decades. His early studies of class-divided Britain were followed by the postwar series of "distorted nudes", shot on beaches and inside rooms. The film is a fitting final portrait of Brandt (it was completed in the year he died), and recomposes his work in cinematic terms. The camera moves through an apartment where the pictures were taken, to reveal photographs scattered 'in situ'. These are panned to show the surrounding space, the angle of vision and a model who reconstructs Brandt's original image. Dwoskin emphasises visual atmosphere through the language of the eye.

title: Pussy Got the Cream

overview: A film by Cosey Fanni Tutti, originally commissioned for the Taboo Festival of Eroticism on the 6th March 1986. Statement: Expression of oneself and of the hidden voice so seldom heard or heeded is an action of unequal power. Releasing and acknowledging all that you are to yourself allows growth of spirit. Creativity on every level begins with ourselves. Suppression brings us only screaming souls locked within empty lives. I wish for every voice to be heard, even as a whisper... Cosey Fanni Tutti 1986

original_title: Sexangle

title: Other, Like Me

overview: Hull, England, 1970. In a run-down commune in a tough port city, a group of social misfits - mostly working class, mostly self-educated - adopted new identities and began making simple street theater under the name COUM Transmissions. Their playful performances gradually gave way to work that dealt openly with sex, pornography, and violence. COUM lived on the edges of society, surviving on meager resources, finding fellowship with others marginalized by the mainstream. At the core of the group were two artists, Genesis P-Orridge and Cosey Fanni Tutti. As their work evolved, Cosey embarked on a career modeling for pornographic magazines, which she claimed for herself as a conceptual artwork, using it to forge a specific position in relationship to 1970s feminism. In performances, Genesis pushed himself to extremes, testing the limits of the human body.

title: Delia Derbyshire: The Myths And Legendary Tapes

overview: A true pioneer in audio exploration and psycho-acoustics, Delia Derbyshire conceived one of the most familiar compositions in science fiction, the Doctor Who theme, while working in a BBC basement. Her soundscapes felt like they connected to another realm. Kicking off with the discovery of 267 tapes in an attic, along with a treasure trove of journals hidden in her childhood bedroom, this film tunes in to Derbyshire’s frequency; that of a life-long non-conformist, whose peals of laughter in an archive interview tickle with delight and eccentricity. Featuring a rich archive, interviews, fictional embodiment and Cosey Fanni Tutti’s psycho-sonic channelling, director Caroline Catz traces acoustic pathways on her archeological dig into Derbyshire’s resonant life.

title: In the Shadow of the Sun

overview: 'The Shadow of the Sun' draws upon Derek Jarman’s interest with alchemical processes as a metaphor for reprocessing Super-8 film. Jarman once described film’s union of light and matter as “an alchemical conjunction” and experimented throughout his career with creating dream symbolism through the superimposition of image and action. Originally called English Apocalypse, the film’s final title is derived from a 17th Century alchemical text that used the phrase as a synonym for the philosopher’s stone – the highly sought substance that turns base metals into gold and silver. The film was intended as a step toward the idea of an ambient video, that like its musical counterpart, was designed to enhance an environment.
