Cinema: Alice Guy, Forgotten Pioneer of Cinema

🎥 Alongside the Lumière brothers and other big names in early French cinema such as Léon Gaumont, there is Alice Guy. With more than 700 short films, she was a major figure in the early ages of the seventh art. With films like "La Fée aux choux", she defined an era, both in France and in the United States. Yet, she (and her work) mysteriously disappeared from the records about a century ago, only to reappear in the 21st century. Let's understand why in this week's conversations.
