1980rif. 152548San Francisco: Zoetrope Studios 1980. Vintage program and invitation for Francis Ford Coppola's 1980 Los Angeles screening of the 1927 French silent film. Housed in a white envelope with Coppola's address on the return flap letterhead. One of the late masterpieces of the silent era following Napoleon's early life through his appointment as Commander in Chief of the Army. Notable for the many innovative and experimental techniques used by director Abel Gance uncommon in the silent era including location shooting fast cutting close up hand held and point of view shots multiple camera set ups in-camera movement and visual effects such as superimposition film tinting and split screen or mosaic shots. Most famously the film helped pioneer widescreen viewing as Gance created a technique later referred as Polyvision which required three projectors to run film shot from three different cameras simultaneously to achieve a 4:1 aspect ratio for the film's climatic battle sequence although seams between the screens would remain visible. After only showing at a handful of theaters the film was acquired by MGM and severely cut with only the middle section of the triptych retained the other two sections remaining largely unseen until Coppola's 1980 restoration debuted at Radio City Music Hall in New York on January 23 igniting public interest in Gance and bringing him much-belated recognition before his death eleven months later in November 1981. Program folded three times 7 x 10.5 inches. Near Fine. Invitation 6 x 9 inches Near Fine. Zoetrope Studios unknown

1960rif. 143981Strasbourg France: Jean Jungmann 1960. Archive of 5 vintage single weight press photographs from a press gala for the 1960 French film here under the original French title. All rubber-stamped on the verso crediting photographer Jungmann and all but one show director Lamorisse on-stage behind a microphone with an official from the gala with one photo featuring smiling colleagues seated at a dining table. Housed in an original Jungmann mailing envelope addressed to Maryse Martres in manuscript ink with a memo on Cinedis parchment from "F. Willkomm" signed by him in manuscript ink and dated December 30 1960 noting that the images portray Lamorisse while he visited Strasbourg for the gala. Also included is a carbon typescript letter from Martres to Lamorisse citing the inclusion of travel tickets to Strasbourg and Marseilles and various press events to occur. A welcome addition to the director's mostly unseen oeuvre. Little is known of Willkomm but the memo does bear his rubber-stamp crediting him as the Cinedis director of the Strasbourg location. Martres Martin was a prolific French actress since 1948 notably "Girl on the Third Floor" 1955 and "The Happy Road" 1957 and she was later involved in press relations at Cinedis a notable film agency in operation since the Silent Film era. Kishi was born in 1932 and became a Japanese actress and writer. She married director Ciampi in 1957. Since 1996 she has been a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Population Fund UNFPA. Photographer Jungmann is equally obscure but seems to have been prolific in the 1960s mostly for press relations. Director Lamorisse starred his own son Pascal as a boy who stows away on his grandfather's Gille hot-air balloon that is less controllable than suspected. They narrowly escape church spires and snag clotheslines and party guests Pascal enjoying every minute. Lemmon narrated the English version and subsequently bought the rights to the film. Winner of an OCIC Award at the 1960 Venice Film Festival. Photos 5 x 7 inches small white borders Near Fine. Envelope and memo slightly larger Very Good plus overall. Carbon typescript 8.25 x 10.5 inches pink stock Very Good plus. Jean Jungmann unknown
