| Summary: | Saved From The Flames is a unique and wonderful collection of 54 rare and restored short films from the inflammable years of cinema. Movies were once made on nitrate film stock, which has a chemical composition similar to gunpowder and is highly vulnerable to fire and decay. This remarkable seven-hour anthology, organized in eight thematic groups, presents amazing treasures, rescued during half a century of gathering movies from the nitrate era. This anthology is based in part upon Retour de Flamme, a screening series from Lobster Films, Paris, and upon films from The Blackhawk Films Collection. The video New Beginnings has seven films, including the early cinematic experiment of Lumière, Georges Mendel and others, featuring Cyrano de Bergerac from 1900. Includes the films Exiting the Factory; Arrival of a Train; Card Party; Kobelkoff; Danse Serpentine; Cyrano de Bergerac; La Marseillaise. |
