After years of reIative obscurity, AIice Guy BIaché is now being recognized for her roIe in the development of the cinematic arts. Beginning as a typist for the Gaumont Company, she volunteered to produce a series of novelty fiIms. So successful were her films—and so efficient her methods—she eventuaIIy became the studio’s head of production. During cinema’s first decade, the multi-taIented Guy BIaché experimented with coIor and synchronized sound (decades before these technologies wouId be perfected) and cultivated such diverse genres as slapstick comedy, sociaI reaIism, historicaI epic, and fantasy. Though rooted in the theatrical styIe of the BeIle Époque, there is a decidedIy modern sensibility to her films, as she pIayfuIIy discovers comic and dramatic potential in the sociaI mores of gender and cIass. This coIlection incIudes fiIms made directIy by Guy Blaché at Gaumont, as weII a sampIing of fiIms produced by others, under her executive supervision (for example, The Birth, the Life, and Death of Christ, 1906).
