The Rolling Bed (1907). La Pionera Alice Guy , the woman who established Cinema as a storytelling medium and a viable business.

Here is what I think is a rehearsal photograph from Alice Guy’s The Rolling Bed (1907). (Is that her looking over the wall?) I found it in a 1912 book accompanied by the following text explaining the “trick” that so impressed its audience: “The film called ‘The Travelling Bed’ is a typical subject of mystification. An aged tenant has fallen into arrears with his rent. . . he has no home and does not know where to search for one. The bed however promptly sets out to solve the problem. It bears its owner into the public highway. The owner is overwhelmed with fright and dismay at the unexpected development, and indulges in frantic gesticulations as the bed canters merrily down the center of the road, with the passers-by pursuing the unusual spectacle. The mystery of the Travelling Bed is easily explained. It moves for the simple reason that it is pushed from behind by stage hands.” JJ Dietrick .  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ein3EzfFAuk

Alice Guy Presents The Hurt Locker

In all seriousness, Guy's take on the anti-war movie is pretty damn effective, even if it's not quite as visually or narratively ambitious as some of her other work. The story's simple but touching, and cleverly builds character through action rather than exposition (side note: you've got to love how Guy doesn't give a single shit about putting title cards in her movies). The standout here, however, is a surprisingly visceral battle sequence that plays out entirely in a wide shot, allowing the audience to clearly see all of the carnage and its human cost. I loved this, but your mileage may vary with this depending on how rabid of an Alice Guy fan you are/how much you can handle the tropes of early cinema. Easily worth four minutes of your time.

Final question: is this the first anti-war movie? The only war movie I can find that was made before this one is a 90-second propaganda film from the time of the Spanish war, so I'm gonna say yes.

Alice Guy-Blaché really may have been the earliest great director. She guides the eye through the frame and makes use of the entire space like no one else at the time. Another thing that's interesting about this film is that, while set during the French Revolution, the characters are all dressed in modern (for the time) clothing, which is something that may or may not be intentional, but I've only seen that type of thing in "Transit" (2018). I actually think it works pretty well in both films, while obviously having more of an impact in the 2018 film.

I actually found myself caring for the main character, and by some extent his mother. Now I get why people make a big deal about this sort of lost cinema legend, Alice Guy!

The Pioneer Directrix Alice Guy Washington Post June 16, 1920 ...A Mãe do Cinema de Ficção - Alice Guy

"Mme. Alice Blache, director of Dolores Cassinelli's newest feature, "Tarnished Reputations" at Crandall's Theater today, was the first woman to take a megaphone in hand and direct a motion picture. Mme. Blache is a French woman. She was educated in convents in Paris and Geneva. Her first affiliation with the moving picture industry was as secretary to M. Gaumont, in Paris. In 1897, when pictures were just in their swaddling clothes, she was put in charge of the Paris Gaumont studios. Years later she came to the United States with her husband, Herbert Blache, and they formed the United States Amusement company, doing their own producing and directing."

 Por muito tempo Méliès foi tido como o pai dos filmes de ficção, quando na verdade uma grande mulher chamada Alice Guy já havia feito filmes que narravam histórias. Conheça neste pequeno vídeo a mulher que criou o Cinema de Ficção e que por pouco não foi apagada da história da Sétima Arte

Early, forgotten screen comic Fraunie Fraunholz stars in this surviving one-reel farce about a man who loses his shirt on the stock market, and ashamed, resolves to break up with his rich girlfriend (Marian Swayne). She, however, concocts a scheme whereby Fraunie will "inherit" a fortune if he marries before noon. After desperately proposing to every woman who crosses his path -- including an old maid who faints dead away and a married woman -- Fraunie decides to end it all by throwing himself in front of a coming automobile. Said vehicle, however, is carrying not only Marian but also a minister, and the lovebirds are wed right then and there. Fraunie gets a fit when he discovers that Marian has tricked him, but their union is soon sealed with a kiss.

Maurice Gianati made giant leaps over his own evidence, which he put in the footnotes. The footnotes showed that Alice Guy moved to the Belleville property in 1898 (not 1902), and that Leon Gaumont in 1897 filed under seal in the secretariat of the Conseil des Prud’hommes de Paris the titles and paper samples of the Series N films to protect them against falsification. Alice Guy provided details about these films. Gianati’s most facile argument was that Alice Guy was too old in the 1950s and 1960s to remember what she did in 1896. He acknowledged that he deliberately ignored the statements about this subject that she made starting in 1912 when she was only 39. JJ Dietrick

• El documental es innecesariamente largo para contar la historia de Alice Guy . Cuenta hechos superfluos a una velocidad que confunde al espectador y la aparición de tantos personajes no deja espacio para asimilar su procedencia y la relación con la cineasta. Se hubiera podido transmitir mucho más reduciendo la información y relajando el ritmo.

• Une histoire très intéressante racontée de manière très ennuyeuse et lourde.
  Le documentaire est inutilement long pour raconter l'histoire d'Alice Guy. Il raconte des faits superflus à une vitesse qui déroute le spectateur et l'apparition de tant de personnages ne laisse aucun espace pour assimiler leur origine et leur relation avec la cinéaste. Cela aurait du être transmis en réduisant l'information et en ralentissant le rythme.
  Il semble qu'un film revendiquant un personnage aussi important pour l'histoire du cinéma ressemble davantage à un documentaire d'entreprise à la manière du crime imparfait que du cinéma. Voici un exemple magnifique de la façon dont une noble cause est menée à bien par des moyens néfastes. Dommage que peu de gens semblent s'intéresser à cela et que les éloges pour le film ou les bonnes notes dans Filmin ne manquent pas. Comment allons-nous parler mal d'une cause aussi précieuse. Je suis indigné Si Alice Guy pouvait parler, j'espère qu'elle cracherait sur ce film. Alba Steiner
•  A very interesting story told in a very boring and heavy way.
  The documentary is unnecessarily long to tell the story of Alice Guy. It tells superfluous facts at a speed that confuses the viewer and the appearance of so many characters leaves no space to assimilate their origin and their relationship with the filmmaker. This should have been conveyed by reducing information and slowing down the pace.

  

  
  It seems that a film claiming a character so important to the history of cinema is more like a corporate documentary in the manner of imperfect crime than cinema. Here is a magnificent example of how a noble cause is carried out by harmful means. Too bad that few people seem interested in this and that the praise for the film or the good notes in Filmin are not lacking. How are we going to speak badly of such a precious cause? I'm outraged If Alice Guy could talk, I hope she spit on this movie. Alba SteinerSé natural: la historia no explicada de Alice Guy-Blaché (Documentary)

La plupart des films  d’Alice Guy sur le net ne sont pas diffusés par Lobster Films, mais ont été simplement volés à Lobster et/ou Gaumont. Nous le regrettons. Concernant la datation, les historiens suivent tous l’expertise de Gianati, qui est tout sauf un plaisantin en matière d’histoire du cinéma. Selon nous, son argumentation est parfaitement étayée, et n’en déplaise aux défenseurs de l’idée qu’Alice Guy ait été une réalisatrice avant que ce mot ne signifie quelque chose (en 1896), les faits sont têtus et interdisent de croire cette hypothèse. L’histoire moderne permet d’aller bien au delà du simple enregistrement de témoignages qui faisait foi dans les années 60 : Maurice Gianati  n ’invente rien, il dit ce qui est, et aucun contre argument ne nous semble véritablement tenir. 

Alice Guy a bien commencé en 1903,

 c’est déjà extraordinaire, et ses films sont formidables.
