EDITORS COMMENTS
Jules Geiger, a pioneering figure in the early days of filmmaking, is captured in this striking photograph taken during the production of his groundbreaking short film, "FLIMS" (1926). The image showcases Geiger's intense focus and determination as he directs the scene, with a small crowd of onlookers gathered around to witness the magic unfold. Born in 1897 in Russia, Geiger moved to Germany in his youth and became enamored with the burgeoning film industry. He began his career as an assistant director and quickly rose through the ranks, eventually directing his own films. "FLIMS," which stands for "Film-Licht-Maschine," or "Film-Light-Machine," was a landmark work in the history of experimental film. It was created using a combination of live-action footage and abstract shapes and patterns, produced by manipulating the film stock itself. The photograph offers a glimpse into the innovative and collaborative nature of Geiger's filmmaking process. Surrounded by his crew and cast, he expertly guides the production, ensuring that every detail is executed to perfection. The image also serves as a reminder of the passion and creativity that drove early filmmakers to push the boundaries of their craft, paving the way for future generations. Geiger's legacy extends beyond his filmography, as he is also remembered for his influential writings on film theory and criticism. His work continues to inspire and influence filmmakers and scholars alike, making him a true pioneer in the history of cinema.
