1910 Poll

[sally]

i'll probably still watch it now on your slightly extended nod, seeing as i don't seem to be able to find any of his 1914 films other than fantomas online

[Lencho of the Apes]

1911?

Oh, bugger. It is indeed.

'EDIT: And I just discovered that the ending of Tournees du Grand Duc had been used previously in a very early Griffith, #4 in his catalogue (according to LB). My whole day is ruined.

[rischka]

the abyss (gad)
the oval portrait (perret)
the unchanging sea (griffith)
the grand dukes tour (perret)
from sorrento to amalfi (marelli)
assorted suffragettes...

[Angel]

Afgrunden (The Abyss)

A Day in the Life of a Coal Miner
A Lad from Old Ireland
Den hvide slavehandel (The White Slave Trade)
The Unchanging Sea

[greennui]

Final list, probably.

The Italian Switzerland (Piero Marelli)
Santa Lucia (Piero Marelli)
From the Verbano to Switzerland Through the Gotthard (Piero Marelli)
From Sorrento to Amalfi (Piero Marelli)
A Trip through Berlin (Unknown)
Aufregende Lektüre (Johann Schwarzer)
SS Olympic (Unknown)
The Birth Of A Flower (F. Percy Smith)
The Unchanging Sea (D.W. Griffith)
The Oval Portrait (Léonce Perret)
The Abyss (Urban Gad)
King Lear (Gerolamo Lo Savio)

I found 1910 more prosperous than 1914 but that's probably cause films with a plot from this era usually does nothing for me, just gimme that sweet actuality

hi i'm spamming this thread now.

OMG when we were in our teens is the most sublime perfect thing i never imagined 1910 could produce. i really don't think i'll see anything else in all....tomorrow....that's going to top it. so it's a bust up between this and asta's slink....

also, yay, the heart of a fishergirl has lovely sea scenes. anything else with boats & oceans for 1910 that anyone's come across? (i've seen the unchanging sea)

[sally]

so the danes were doing phoning split screens in 1910. i wonder when the 1st one was.

anything else with boats & oceans for 1910 that anyone's come across?

Two things I liked that qualify: (1) Walter R. Booth's The Aerial Submarine, the copy I saw on YouTube seemed to be jumbled in order and/or repeat itself [I think it's also on BFI Player, presumably in better form] but it was still a treat of submarine contraptions, lady captains, and pirates, and (2) Piero Marelli's Santa Lucia is a very pretty actuality with boats in Italy, it's up on EYE Filmmuseum's YouTube.

This one shows the construction and launch of Titanic's sister ship in Belfast.

oh cool, thanks.i already got a trip to brazil from the bfi site but the search function is rubbish.

[sally]

okay i immediately love frank powell. he was a great comic director, i've laughed at all of the films i've watched so far, and he disappeared from the known record approx 1923, death still unconfirmed (first google page says he's still alive & 134)

shame there's only a few available

i was wrong........

1. the oval portrait - perret (chills!!!)
when we were in our teens - powell
the abyss - gad
in the golden hollow - marelli
impressions of spain - marelli
santa lucia
ss olympic
bradford under snow
a trip through berlin
wolf-hunting in russia
a day in the life of a coal miner
the heart of a fishergirl - fitzhamon
a recruit from 64 - gad, christian (are we sure this is from 1910? i could guess way later???)
the unchanging sea - griffith
come fu che l’ingordigia rovinò il natale a cretinetti - deed
a gold necklace - powell
max's first job - gasnier, linder
the song that reached his heart - searle dawley
slippery jim - zecca
le placier est tenace - cohl

max linder is so so charming and the danes are on another planet. not the méliès one. i would have watched the white slave trade but i couldn't make out facial features on the available print (looking at you, dear stumfilm). also i really don't like griffith however good his filmmaking techniques are

Perret's Oval Portrait came in #1 ! Awesome. That's a treasurable novelty of a forum like this.
