The Smiths – English Film Pioneers (Cinecity)
90mins Certificate: TBCThe Smiths – English Film Pioneers (Cinecity)
Part of CINECITY 2025
Complementing Days of Wonder in Hove, Frank Gray explores the Smiths’ story by placing their film work within broader contexts: Laura’s career on stage, Bertie’s involvement with mesmerism and thought transference, American and French film influences, and the evolution of film editing.
His talk concludes with G.A. Smith’s final adventure: the development and commercial exploitation of Kinemacolor — the world’s first 35mm colour film system.
