    As the site of what was likely the first ever public screening of a projected film, France is considered by many to be the birthplace of cinema itself. The French film industry was powerful and important in cinema’s early days, with companies like Pathé and Gaumont producing huge numbers of films in impressive facilities. In this collection, issues of Ciné-Journal cover this period of particular strength for the French film industry. However, like many European film industries, film production in France suffered during and after World War I. The United States’ film industry was not affected like its European counterparts and was able to make up much of the ground that the French industry lost during wartime. This is notable in some of the later publications from the 1920s and 1930s included below, like Cinéa and La Cinématographie Française, which frequently feature American-based stars and figures like Charlie Chaplin, Janet Gaynor, Douglas Fairbanks Jr., and Adolph Zukor.

    As befits the country of the cinema’s official “birth,” France boasts a long tradition of writing on film. In the 1920s, avant-garde filmmakers such as Louis Delluc and Jean Epstein started theorizing cinema’s specificity as a medium, while in the 1930s debates turned political. During that decade critics and historians such as Georges Sadoul began also to reflect on film history. Major works on French cinema, however, started to appear only after World War II.

Introduction to French cinema

France can boast one of the world’s oldest-established film industries, and, with a current annual output of close to 300 feature films, the largest output of feature films in Europe. On 28 December 1895 the French brothers Louis and Auguste Lumière presented a programme of projected films to a paying audience in Paris, and then embarked on an international tour with their Cinématographe. In the following year, Georges Méliès presented his first ‘trick-film’, Une partie de cartes; and soon after this, Léon Gaumont and Charles Pathé laid the foundations of their respective film production enterprises, both of which are still in existence. In 1900 Alice Guy was appointed director of Gaumont and, having already made La fée aux choux/The Cabbage Fairy (1896), can be counted as the first of France’s many female film directors. The industry flourished until the outbreak of World War I—successes of the prewar period include the Film d’Art, a studio and an internationally successful movement devoted to ‘quality’ film; as well as Louis Feuillade’s popular adventure serial Fantômas (1913–14)—but it subsequently struggled under pressure of competition from foreign imports. ...

Beur cinema

A body of films made since the 1980s in France by directors of North African descent, bringing the immigrant experience to the screen and addressing issues of identity and integration facing the second generation. ‘Beur’ is Parisian backslang for Arabe, and the term was originally coined by and for those to whom it refers. It was taken up in the French media in the 1980s and remains in common usage, though it is now regarded by its originators as pejorative. Commentators argue that ‘beur’ nonetheless remains useful shorthand for an identifiable body of films the study of which sheds light on issues of cinema and cultural identity, and complicates and advances understandings of diasporic cinema and intercultural cinema (see postcolonialism). Beur cinema first came to international attention with Mehdi Charef’s award-winning debut feature Le thé au harem d’Archimède/Tea in the Harem (1985) and Rachid Bouchareb’s Bâton rouge (1985), and within a decade had established a set of broadly shared themes and stylistic characteristics: settings featuring banlieues (districts on the outskirts of Paris and some other French cities that are densely populated by immigrants); distinctive, and increasingly fluid and permeable, fictional spaces (as in Hexagone (Malik Chibane, 1994)); migration memories of the previous generation (as in Inch’Allah dimanche/Inch’Allah Sunday (Yamina Benguigui, 2002)); and the tensions and contradictions of a multilayered identity within French society (as in La graine et le mulet/Couscous (Abdellatif Kechiche, 2007).   ...

  • Cover art Beyond auteurism: new directions in authorial film practices in France, Italy and Spain since the 1980s by Rosanna Maule
    • Book
    Call Number: Baker-Berry PN 1995.9 .A837 M38 2008

    Beyond Auteurism is a comprehensive study of nine directors who have blurred the boundaries between art house and mainstream, national and transnational, film production.

  • Cover art Cinema and the second sex: women's filmmaking in France in the 1980s and 1990s by Carrie Tarr; Brigitte Rollet
    • Book
    Call Number: Baker-Berry PN 1993.5 .F7 T27 2001
    ISBN: 9780826447425
    Women's film-making in France is a source of both delight and despair. On the one hand, the numbers are impressive--during the period in question, over 250 feature-length films were made by over 100 women directors in France. On the other hand, despite the heritage of French feminism, French women directors characteristically disclaim their gender as a significant factor in their film-making. This incisive study provides an informative, critical guide to this major body of work, exploring the boundaries between personal films (intimate psychological dramas relating to key stages in life) and genre films (which demonstrate women's ability to appropriate and rework popular genres). It analyzes the effects of "postfeminism," women's desire to enter the mainstream, and the recent impact of a new generation of filmmakers. ...

    Cinema in an Age of Terror looks at how cinematic representations of colonial-era victimization inform our understanding of the contemporary age of terror. By examining works representing colonial history and the dynamics of spectatorship emerging from them, Michael F. O'Riley reveals how the centrality of victimization in certain cinematic representations of colonial history can help us understand how the desire to occupy the victim's position is a dangerous and blinding drive that frequently plays into the vision of terrorism. ...

    To survive Nazi-occupied 1940's France, Marie turns to illegally aborting pregnancies for a hefty fee. As her income increases, Marie moves her family to a posh apartment. Completely seduced by her lifestyle, Marie ignores her shell-shocked husband Paul. Things take a disastrous turn after one of Marie's "customers" dies and her husband turns her over to the authorities. Inspired by the real-life of Marie-Louise Girard, who was executed in 1943 by the Vichy Government, who'd declared abortion as a Crime Against the State because it diminished the number of potential soldiers.
