A screening of some of the earliest colour films from 1896 - 1912 on hand cranked projectors. With live organ accompaniment from @elliotgalvin Tinting, toning, hand colouring (painted films) and Pathé stencil colour will all be on display in the work of Georges Méliès and other pioneering early filmmakers such as Segundo de Chomon and Walter Booth. Frome resident Elliot Galvin will provide live accompaniment on the V.G Volwes organ installed at the former United Reformed Church which is now the home of the Rye Bakery.
The show will finish with an incredibly rare opportunity to see the first successful natural colour system, Kinemacolor, in action.
