A fascinating delve into a forgotten period of filmmaking, this collection is comprised of a staggering range of works made between 1894 and 1931, during which time the cinema grew from obscure curiosity into the nation`s fourth largest industry. The result of the work of film archivists endeavoring to save the endangered remains of this era, these films are rarely-seen gems that display the variety of film and genre types that were being explored from film`s inception: rare features, serials, documentaries, advertisements, sing-alongs, newsreels, folklife footage, and avant-garde works, are all in evidence here, as well as six previews of lost feature films that have never been seen before! This collection is truly a treasure, providing the opportunity for a look at a lost era of technical and artistic innovation in color, sound, special effects, and exhibition formats that have since been abandoned, such as the kinetoscope, kinetophone, and mutoscope; the proceeds will support further work in film preservation and restoration.
