|a Documentary films, China, Yunnan Sheng, street scenes, earliest film of china, Kunming? The film owned by SOAS is comes from a compilation of films produced after the turn of the century by Auguste François (1857-1935). Stationed as the French Consul in China between 1896 and 1904, François spent several years in Kunming (then known as Yunnan-fu) in Yunnan. An avid photographer, François also filmed scenes of daily life around him using a camera lent to him by the Lumières brothers. While not the earliest moving images to be taken in China (that honour goes to Joseph Rosenthal) these are certainly among the very earliest and provide a rare and fascinating insight into life in China at that time. -- François gives a European’s view of China, contrasting scenes of the governing classes (such as meetings with officials or processions) with ordinary street life. He reveals sketches of street-side life, from the vendors and the grocers selling their wares to the local ear-cleaners and flea-pickers, famous for their dexterity. François differed from many other colonial-era officials in that he took time to learn Chinese and understand Chinese customs, history and arts of living. This interest in Chinese culture is reflected in the film in the range of subjects and activities covered by the thirty or so open air scenes which portray, amongst other things, streets, markets, temples, craftsmen, actors, beggars, showmen, soldiers and convicts. Walter Stanish believes that some scenes were set in Yunnan but that the majority were set in Jian Shui. |
