16h 39m
A HERITAGE FINALLY REVEALED 3 directors, around a hundred films, 17 hours of programming, numerous supplements, original music and an accompanying booklet. 7 DVD BOX Unpublished works of very different styles, which show how these first works were decisive for the history of world cinema. This first volume is devoted to three authors-directors: Alice Guy, the world's first female filmmaker. Louis Feuillade, the famous director of Fantômas, Les Vampires and Judex. Léonce Perret to whom we owe “priceless plastic discoveries and research” according to Henri Langlois.

La Passion de Jeanne d'Arc
A classic of the silent age, this film tells the story of the doomed but ultimately canonized 15th-century teenage warrior. On trial for claiming she'd spoken to God, Jeanne d'Arc is subjected to inhumane treatment and scare tactics at the hands of church court officials. Initially bullied into changing her story, Jeanne eventually opts for what she sees as the truth. Her punishment, a famously brutal execution, earns her perpetual martyrdom.
