Excerpt from 'A Belly Dancer' (1905)🔥
A series of newly digitised early dance films shot by Danish film pioneer Peter Elfelt is coming soon to our site!!!
The dance here is performed by an unknown female dancer - but it's serving heavy Asta Nielsen in 'The Abyss' (1910) vibes🖤
“Portrait of a Lady on Fire” actress Adèle Haenel is calling out the French film industry for supporting known sexual abusers: “It bothers them that the victims make too much noise. They preferred that we disappear and die in silence.” https://t.co/3RNn3WcbEM

Happy 100th to 'Häxan' (1922)!
Danish director Benjamin Christensen's fictional horror-documentary celebrates its 100th anniversary this year.
A highly experimental film, quite unlike anything else.
And we can't get enough of the weird and wonderful stills from our collection!
"The women included are indeed very "nasty": they organize labor strikes, bake (and weaponize) inedible desserts, explode out of the chimney, electrocute the police force, and assume a range of identities that gleefully dismantle traditional gender norms and sexual constraints"💥
Our program is now streaming on @cinemathequefr HENRI! "You Don't Own Me": 8 films programmed for the @Domitor5 Conference last summer! 🎞️🎞️
