Excellent discussion on a detailed documentary that presents the Guy-Blachê story. Many important topics covered, including the matter of film rights, and the almost paranoia that surrounds the film collector/archive community, both of whom are largely responsible for the existence of a large part of the surviving early cinema era. The movie industry has always been an uneasy relationship between art and commerce. The commerce part wants to protect its financial interest in the productions. The art part just wants to tell a story and have their work seen.
The UA-cam channel Toni's Film Club has a nice tribute video to Guy-Blachê, and I did a new music track for 'Falling Leaves', which is a wonderful short with a touching premise.
1895 Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat (The Lumière Brothers, 1895) Many have argued whether or not this can be considered the very first narrative movie ever.

I loved the documentary, Alice's story is so sad. I wish she would have believed in herself and her work more, before it was too late.
