Early Lesbian Film: Pierrette's Escapades (1900), Dir. Alice Guy

Pierrette's Escapades, a short film by French cinema pioneer Alice Guy, puts a lesbian twist on a typical Commedia Dell'arte plot: Pierrette attempts to court Columbina, but is rejected. Then Columbina dances with her lover, Arlequina, and kisses her.

The film was colored by hand on the nitrate stock. Unfortunately, the stock is damaged due to deterioration over time.

The Drunken Mattress (1906) Alice Guy & Romeo Bosetti

The Drunken Mattress ( French original title: Le Matelas Alcoolique ) is a 1906 film by Alice Guy, starring and co-directed by the French-Italian actor Romeo Bosetti . It was produced and distributed by Gaumont. The subject matter echoes that of Georges Méliès's film, released in the same year,  La Cardeuse de matelas:

While Méliès resolves the story in only two scenes shot in the studio, Alice Guy and Bosetti shoot outdoors, multiplying scenes and shots and also resorting to short camera movements.

This film, the twelfth of his career, marked the directorial debut for the Italian-French actor Romeo Bosetti. Born in 1879 in Chiari, Italy, into a family of circus performers, he made his debut in show business at the age of ten. A mime and acrobat, he toured the U.S. in 1905 with the Barnum Circus and, back in France, began working as an actor for the cinematograph before turning to directing with Le Matelas alcoolique. He later participated as a producer in three episodes of Fantômas and directed a comedy series based on his own character, Romeo. He was the author of more than 250 comedy films before leaving for the front in 1916. Returning wounded from the Great War, he never resumed his film career. He passed away in France in 1948.

My film histories class was about Alice Guy Blaché and her history and contributions to film. One of the pioneers of film and the fort female director her history has been obscured. Her work credited to men, including the creation of her production company Solax being credited to her husband (who had not succeeded in his attempt at directing, cheated on her and left his family)

The story of Alice Guy Blaché is of frustration as her films still hold up today and yet she had been erased from history for quite sometime. Even during her efforts to correct historical errors was she ignored.

L'Enfant sur la barricade |1906|

[saturnisfallingdown]

man supernatural might be bad but also ill be damned if thats not the most american show ever. like theres movies and tv that've tried to be this american but 99% have failed. you watch a particularly good episode of supernatural and suddenly you feel the hours of highway winds against your skin and theres more asphalt road than livable terrain for miles and you eat the best meal of your life at a pit stop and you havent gone to church since you were a kid but you still think about praying sometimes and you split a 6 pack with someone you love and a few too many people around you have guns and the land around you is so big when youre right in the center of it you feel like it could swallow you up and you know for a fact theres an unimaginable amount of mythology just beneath the surface. and then you watch the next episode where sam kills paris hilton or something
