Rethinking Early French Cinema with Richard Abel Saturday 21 June 2003, 10.30-15.00 National Film Theatre, London Inspirational film historian Richard Abel, University of Michigan, presents a generous selection of rare Pathe and Gaumont films that show the diversity and sophistication of early French film production. The two 90-minute programmes feature a variety of genres and forms, including two extraordinary films about cinema itself: Leonce Perret's MYSTERY OF THE KADOR ROCKS (1912), in which film is used to cure amnesia, and Louis Feuillade's THE TRAGIC ERROR (1913), in which a jealous husband misinterprets a film image of his wife. Rethinking French Cinema, a popular series of Saturday events combining screenings and discussion, is organised in collaboration with Michael Temple, Birkbeck College, and Michael Witt, University of Surrey Roehampton.
