Description

[Machine Translation] It was 1895, the year the Lumiere brothers invented the cinematograph (the birth of cinema). At that time, Alice Guy saw the potential of cinema's "power to tell stories". The film was boring, just recording images. This documentary explores the life of Alice Guhy, the world's first female filmmaker who pioneered the Hollywood filmmaking system. Alice Guiui directed, wrote, and produced more than 1,000 films, including the world's first feature film, "The Cabbage Patch Fairy," and created many of today's standard filmmaking techniques, such as close-ups, special effects, color film, and sound synchronization. Along with the Lumiere brothers and Georges Melies, she was a pioneer in the early days of cinema, but until now she has been forgotten by film history. This film unravels her achievements and life through interviews with Ben Kingsley, Julie Delpy, Agnes Barda, Martin Scorsese, and other filmmakers, as well as with Alice herself before her death, interviews with her relatives, and footage. Narrated by Jodie Foster. Commentary leaflet enclosed.

Description in Japanese

映画はアリスから始まった / 洋画 (ドキュメンタリー)

リュミエール兄弟がシネマトグラフを発明した〈映画誕生の年〉、1895年。その時、アリス・ギイは映画の"物語る力"に可能性を見出していた―! 「記録するだけの映像は退屈。映画で物語をつくったらどうかしら―」 ハリウッドの映画製作システムの原型を作った世界初の女性映画監督アリス・ギイの生涯に迫るドキュメンタリー。世界初の劇映画「キャベツ畑の妖精」など監督・脚本家・プロデューサーとして1000以上もの作品を手がけ、クローズアップ、特殊効果、カラー映画、音の同期といった現在の標準的な映画製作技法を数多く生み出したアリス・ギイ。リュミエール兄弟やジョルジュ・メリエスと並ぶ映画黎明期のパイオニアでありながら、これまで映画史から忘れ去られてきた。ベン・キングズレー、ジュリー・デルピー、アニエス・バルダ、マーティン・スコセッシといった映画人や、生前のアリス自身へのインタビューや、彼女の親族へのインタビュー、フッテージ映像などを通し、その功績と人生をひも解いていく。ジョディ・フォスターがナレーションを担当。解説リーフレット封入。
