$24.00

Cinema Europe: The Other Hollywood is a 1995 documentary produced by David Gill and silent film historian Kevin Brownlow.

The six-part mini-series focuses on the origin of European cinema, from its infancy as a novelty created by French inventors Auguste and Louis Lumière to its flourishing as the pinnacle of film-making in the silent era and as a serious commercial contender against America. The important series contains much rare footage and offers an even-handed analysis of the specific strengths and weaknesses of the various national film industries during this first flourishing of film as art.

The documentary is narrated by filmmaker and actor, Kenneth Branagh. Original music in the film was composed by Carl Davis, Philip Appleby & Nic Raine.

The series originally aired on the BBC in 1995, later airing on TCM in the US in 1996. In 2000, Image Entertainment released the whole series on a 2-disc DVD.

The documentary was shown from time to time on public television stations, usually at late night slots, due to its length and occasional sexual frankness.
