The epic life story of Alice Guy-Blaché (1873–1968), a French screenwriter, director and producer, true pioneer of cinema, the first person who made a narrative fiction film; author of hundreds of movies, but banished from history books. Ignored and forgotten. At last remembered.
In June 2015, forty-five years after OUT 1 was made, the filmmakers went to Paris to interview cast and crew members and to revisit some of the film’s most significant locations. THE MYSTERIES OF PARIS features new contributions from actors Bulle Ogier, Michael Lonsdale and Hermine Karagheuz, cinematographer Pierre-William Glenn, assistant director Jean-François Stévenin and producer Stéphane Tchal Gadjieff, but also rare archival interviews with actors Jacques Doniol-Valcroze and Michel Delahaye and, most prominently, illuminating statements by director Jacques Rivette himself from two different archival interviews.
A very special encounter between legendary American cinematographer Vilmos Zsigmond and young French director Pierre Filmon. A personal journey with the brightest shadowmaker and his friends.
Pierre-William Glenn (31 October 1943 – 24 September 2024) was a French cinematographer and film director. He contributed to more than seventy films from 1968 to 2024, including Day for Night and Street of No Return. Glenn died on 24 September 2024, at the age of 80. At age 21, he enrolled at the Institut des hautes études cinématographiques (IDHEC). Source: Article "Pierre-William Glenn" from Wikipedia in English, licensed under CC-BY-SA.
