To say that Alice Guy Blaché (1873-1968) was the first woman director in film history is absolutely true, yet it also diminishes her. Even if not “the first genius of the cinema,” as a critic recently called her, she was, in fact, one of the small handful of visionaries who invented the movies. Her amazing career is finally getting its due in “Alice Guy Blaché: Cinema Pioneer,” a groundbreaking retrospective at New York’s Whitney Museum of American Art opening November 6 and running until January 24. Superbly curated by Joan Simon, this selection of more than 80 rare films offers the most complete look to date at a woman who once described the cinema as her “Prince Charming.” Alice Guy was 21 when, in 1894, she was hired as secretary to Léon Gaumont whose company made cameras and photographic equipment. Within two years, her boss had created what is now the oldest film company in continous operation, L. Gaumont & Cie, and named her its head of production. Exploding with ideas, the 23-year-old Guy quickly established herself as one of the new medium’s most fertile talents—she wrote, produced, and directed. Between 1896 and 1907, she was involved in hundreds of movies, from sensuous one-minute records of folks capering in a stream to her magnum opus for Gaumont, The Life of Christ, a biblical epic with lavish production design and hundreds of extras. (You can watch more than 60 of these films on DVD in Kino’s terrific boxed set, Gaumont Treasures: 1897-1913.) In 1907, she marri...
