A program of 13 short films by Alice Guy shot between 1898 and 1907. She is the first fiction filmmaker in the history of cinema. It was she who suggested to Léon Gaumont that he abandons simple animated views to shoot small scripted stories. Authorisation is given to her to direct and this is an exceptional fact in a profession reserved for men. Until 1907, she would reign over Gaumont’s production as director, artistic director and screenwriter, experimenting with faking and special effects.
