Also known as: "El cine en Europa: El otro Hollywood" (Venezuela); "Kino Europa - Die Kunst der bewegten Bilder" (Germany); "Loin de Hollywood - L'art européen du cinéma muet" (France)
Production Co: Photoplay Productions

Plot Keywords: European | Film Clip | 1920s | 1910s | TV Mini-Series  | Italy | France | Silent Film Maker | Continent In Title | Film History | Europe | Denmark | Show Business | Norway | Silent Filmmaking | Nostalgia | Italian Cinema | England | Georges Melies | Sweden | Film Industry | Interview | Scandinavia | Film Making | 1900s | Reminiscence | Germany | Silent Film Star
Genres: Documentary | History
Chronicles the birth of European cinema, from the Lumiere brothers to World War I, and then the first golden age of Swedish cinema, from the formation of Svenska Bio to the departure for Hollywood of Stiller and Sjöström. The French build the first studio, invent the traveling shot, and experiment in sound. Max Linder becomes the first comedic star. The Italians do spectacle and early realism. Germans invent film propaganda and have Lubitsch. The Danish cinema is rich before the war. An affectionate portrait of Swedish cinema appreciates its cinematography, led by Jaenzon, its conversion of novels into film, and the emergence of a production company that owned its own theaters.

Genres: Documentary | History
Chronicles the birth of European cinema, from the Lumiere brothers to World War I, and then the first golden age of Swedish cinema, from the formation of Svenska Bio to the departure for Hollywood of Stiller and Sjöström. The French build the first studio, invent the traveling shot, and experiment in sound. Max Linder becomes the first comedic star. The Italians do spectacle and early realism. Germans invent film propaganda and have Lubitsch. The Danish cinema is rich before the war. An affectionate portrait of Swedish cinema appreciates its cinematography, led by Jaenzon, its conversion of novels into film, and the emergence of a production company that owned its own theaters.
