<br><font size=3>Hi there,<br>
<br>
There was a gray-market 4 DVD set that was made from, I believe, a TV2
France broadcast of "Les films Lumière" in the mid-90s. There
was also a Japanese laserdisc made from the same source (which may have
also been broadcast of Japanese television). Both disc versions include
French and Japanese subtitles and narration.<br>
<br>
Just a quick scan of the menus show the following Japanese films (the number
in brackets is the catalog number):<br>
<br>
Acteurs Japonais : Exercice de la perruque [977]<br>
Japonaise faisant sa toilette [1027]<br>
Danse Japonaise III. Gueichas en Jinrikicha [1023]<br>
Escrime au sabre japonaise [926]<br>
<br>
If you know the name of any other specific titles you are looking for I
can check the menus to see if the film is included.<br>
<br>
... there are *cough cough* other ways of procuring the 4 DVD set. Please
contact me off-list.<br>
<br>

There was a Kino dvd, "Lumiere Brothers' First Films" (1996)
that is now out of print. I am not sure the Japan films were included,
though, or what the rights for use of the footage from the DVD entail.<br>

DVD version of the Lumiere Brothers Japan footage from 1895? I was looking
for something in the public domain that I could loop and project during
an event that I am organizing in November. Please contact me off-list if
you know where I can obtain a copy of this footage.<br>
