Solax in Fort Lee zählt zu den größten Studios der Vor-Hollywood-Ära. Im Laufe ihrer Filmkarriere verantwortet sie über 1.000 Filme und sie prägt das frühe Kino, wie nur wenige sonst.

Alice Guy Blache is considered one of the first filmmakers to make a narrative fiction film and the first woman to direct a film. It is said that from 1896 to 1906, she was the only female filmmaker in the world.  Her first movie was La Fee aux Choux (The Fairy of the Cabbages) which has a 60 second run time and  was released in 1896. She really wanted to incorporate fictional story-telling elements into movies.  There is a documentary, Be Natural, that is narrated by Jodie Foster that is out about her life. Pamela B. Green is developing a biopic about Alice and I would like to see this movie reach a wide audience so people can know about Alice's incredible life and her contributions to movies!

Green.It was narrated by filmmaker and actress Jodie Foster.Some things that surprised Livia & Zainab about Be NaturalLivia: The idea that someone's life, legacy and work can be completely forgotten by her peers and students. And even though Alice struggled at the end of her life to re-write her own story, she was still relatively ignored. Zainab:  The revelation that Alice was the first filmmaker in the world and that also happens to be a woman, in addition to the breath of her legacy and contributions to the film industry.Follow along as Livia & Zainab review Be Natural and discuss how social constructs influence our sense of self and identity.

Be natural- the untold story of Alice Guy Blache opened at Cannes, NYFF, BFI (2018) to acclaim. It felt like discovering a female director after 125 years. We talk to the director of this feature documentary - PAMELA B GREEN. She takes us through the journey of making the film- that took almost 10 years; including the funding, getting executive producers like Robert Redford and Jodie Foster; gettting bytes from Julie Taymor, Julie Delphy, Agnes Varda, Walter Murch and many more. And, the toughest part- distribution of the film. Pointers: 1) Finding Alice! 2) Not geting credentials as a female director- the world lost her! 3) Being a women director now! 4) 10 years in making the film 5) Treatment/ tone/ style of making the film 6) If Alice was not there what would have Cinema missed. 7) Was she the first to innovate / discover the language, the design, or everything was happening simulatenously - we know of Lumiere and Edison's though ! 8) The up hill task of finding distributors.

In honor of Women In Horror Month we will be discussing the most important female director you’ve never heard of: Alice Guy-Blaché. It is believed she was the first person ever to create a horror film (back in the early 1900’s) and has a long list of filmmaking accomplishments that deserve to be known. Alice has had a significant impact on cinema ranging from creating the first narrative film, experimenting with effects, adding sound to film, as well as encouraging actors to “be natural” during the silent era of theatrical and over exaggerated acting. She was a pioneer who spent the last half of her life fighting for recognition in an industry that largely forgot her.  Check out the new documentary about her directed by Pamela B.

Here we go! ///// > ///// Today’s movie is BE NATURAL: THE UNTOLD STORY OF ALICE GUY-BLACHÉ, the Kino Lorber and Zeitgeist Films documentary directed by Pamela B. Green and written for the screen in collaboration with Joan Simon. The documentary examines the overlooked, but influential life and work of Alice Guy-Blaché, the first female director and producer, and head of production for Gaumont Studios from 1896 to 1906. BE NATURAL also examines the efforts to locate, preserve, and transfer her many lost works for future generations to review, study, and most of all, enjoy. No spoilers. Before the Internet, a surprising amount of history was produced via hearsay, often unresearched, or critically under-researched, and with a clear, male bias. In the scientific world, women were systematically written out of existence, or relegated to obligatory lists of colleagues, now receiving their just recognition and rewards thanks to films like HIDDEN FIGURES and MERCURY 13 (Episode #116). However, this same erasure also happened in the entertainment industry, in subtle forms like the widespread recognition of George Lucas over Kathleen Kennedy, to the more blatant attempts to erase women from film, like the story of Alice Guy-Blaché. If you feel bad for not knowing about Alice Guy-Blaché, you shouldn’t. The trailer includes a montage of many high-profile filmmakers and scholars who know little to nothing of her work or her influence. I’m happy to admit that I knew almost nothing about her prior to this documentary, only seeing passing mention to her name in lists of early female filmmakers. Don’t feel bad, though! BE NATURAL, in addition to providing a comprehensive introduction to Alice Guy-Blaché, also explains why and how her name slowly eroded from film history, and as mentioned in the opening, how they are working to re-introduce her groundbreaking work back into the historical record. The early film industry was a far cry from the modern film industry with films which cost and generate billions of dollars. Pamela Green lays perfect groundwork for the early industry, covering the major film manufacturers, and their surprisingly limited usage. Green shows how the early films captured mostly pedestrian scenes, an upper-class novelty for home videos and curiosities, at least before Alice Guy became a secretary at Gaumont Studios, a very high-class, progressive position for women at the time. After integrating herself into the organization, she asked if she could make a different kind of film, which was titled “The Cabbage Fairy”, and would be the world’s first narrative short film. Now, I need you to stop and take that fact in. An overwhelming majority of the films created today are fictional and narrative in nature, but hers was the first, and would launch a studio war in Paris to write and produce narrative films, and to generate a hefty profit in the process. Guy-Blaché would make over 1,000 films in her lifetime and would be the first to experiment with multiple now standard film techniques. She addressed issues of gender, race, and class. She would also systemize the process, from conception to display, creating an industry where one did not exist. Her initial ideas and firsts in film would be pirated and copied over and over again as other film studios began to open, which is how she ended up in the United States. Pamela Green continues Alice’s tale, from the founding of Solax Studios in Fort Lee, New Jersey, to the disruptive effects of the Great Depression, a divorce, two world wars, and being slowly disappeared from history. Green uses excellent visual aids to help tell the story, allowing the viewer to process a great deal of information in very subtle ways, akin to Guy-Blaché filmmaking style. The search for information about Guy-Blaché is also embedded into the story, with some discovered video content included as well, including restored versions of Guy-Blaché’s work and a forgotten and restored interview with her daughter, Simone Blaché. Green also includes brief primers on the difficulty of preserving and transferring Alice’s works from various media, especially the highly flammable nitrate film stock. I think the most important aspect of this documentary, however, is that it completes the work that Alice Guy-Blaché spent her life doing after her film career, which was correcting the record of the early film industry and her slow erasure from it. After her autobiography was finally published in 1976, a host of researchers began separate quests to find out whatever they could about her influential life and work. As she was rediscovered, she has also been recognized posthumously for her work and contributions to the industry. Pamela Green stands on the shoulders of the researchers before her, but also adds to the growing body of work about Alice Guy-Blaché, in an excellent and accessible package. BE NATURAL: THE UNTOLD STORY OF ALICE GUY-BLACHÉ corrects and expands the record of one of the most influential filmmakers of all-time. It’s rare to find a documentary so effective and comprehensive, which balances a complete introduction to the subject as well as instilling a desire to know more. For filmmakers and film critics, there are precious few documentaries about the industry that are as important as today’s film. All film fans owe it to themselves to see this documentary, for the education alone, but also for the mesmerizing visual aids and insightful look into the film industry as a whole. Rotten Tomatoes: 96% (CERTIFIED FRESH) Metacritic: 76 One Movie Punch: 10/10 BE NATURAL: THE UNTOLD STORY OF ALICE GUY-BLACHÉ (2018) is not rated and is currently playing on Kanopy.

Pamela B. Green has creative directed, produced, and directed feature film main titles, motion graphics, and award packages. She did the titles for a recent indie film I really loved called Blindspotting, as well as Crown Heights and Fences but if you look at her imdb page you will be scrolling for a while. Her most recent project, a documentary called Be Natural: The Untold Story of Alice Guy-Blaché is her feature directorial debut. Alice Guy-Blaché is missing from most film histories and continues to be a little-known name outside academic circles. From her directing debut in 1896 at Parisian-based Gaumont studio and her role as head of production there, to the opening of her own studio and subsequent career in the US, Guy-Blaché worked as a director, producer or writer on more than 1000 films. A visionary who mastered technique, pushed the boundaries of genres and wrote progressive narratives, her influence is such that she cannot be overlooked. Be Natural is a captivating, must-see profile of the mother of cinema. This episode actually follows on quite nicely from last week’s interview with Elise McCave the Director of Narrative Film at Kickstarter, because the journey of Pamela’s film coming into the world more or less began with Kickstarter as well.  We talk about why her grandmother was her mentor, how she learnt how to be a filmmaker on the job, Hugh Heffner’s role in the film and pushing through days when she didn’t feel like it was going to be completed. I think this is a really honest and insightful interview, so thank you to Pamela for being open and to TIFF for making it happen.

Be Natural: The Untold Story of Alice Guy-Blaché, is a documentary about the first female filmmaker, Alice Guy-Blaché, which explores the heights of fame and financial success she achieved before she was shut out from the very industry she helped create. Over the span of her career, she wrote, produced or directed 1,000 films, including 150 with synchronized sound during the ‘silent’ era. Her work includes comedies, westerns and dramas, as well as films with groundbreaking subject matter such as child abuse, immigration, Planned Parenthood, and female empowerment. She also etched a place in history by making the earliest known surviving narrative film with an all-African American cast. Pamela B. Green has dedicated more than eight years of research in order to discover the real story of Alice Guy-Blaché (1873-1968) – not only highlighting her pioneering contributions to the birth of cinema but also her acclaim as a creative force and entrepreneur in the earliest years of movie-making. Green discovered rare footage of televised interviews and long archived audio interviews which can be heard for the first time in Be Natural: The Untold Story of Alice Guy-Blaché, which affords Alice Guy-Blaché to tell her own story. Director Pamela B. Green joins us for a conversation on the winding journey of discovery and the exhilaration that comes from showcasing a visionary artist, producer, studio head, entrepreneur, feminist, and groundbreaking filmmaker.  For news and updates go to: Benaturalthemovie.com Be Natural: The Untold Story of Alice Guy-Blaché is distributed by Zeitgeist Films For more about the filmmaker go to: pamelabgreen.com Social Media: facebook.com/BeNaturalMovie twitter.com/BeNaturalMovie instagram.com/benaturalthemovie
