Hello Everyone,

   We are very pleased to announce that the last Starewitch DVD, La Petite Chanteuse, The Little Street Singer, has just been released.

   This last DVD features 3 shorts La Petite Chanteuse des rues, 1924, La Petite Parade, 1928 and L’Horloge magique, 1928, each short in its original version. The set also includes various bonuses and a 20 illustrated page booklet: “Ladislas Starewitch’s little secrets”.

This DVD is a double event: firstly because a new Starewitch DVD is special in itself and then because this one is the eighth in a series devoted to this director, all DVDs being released by Doriane Films.

   Indeed this eighth DVD La Petite Chanteuse concludes our project of releasing all the films Ladislas Starewitch has directed from his arrival in France in 1920 to his death in 1965. This means a total of 33 original titles.

   Indeed this eighth DVD La Petite Chanteuse concludes our project of broadcasting the entire work Starewitch directed from his arrival in France in 1920 to his death in 1965. This means a total of 33 original titles.

   We sponsored original scores for each of all those “silent films” as well as English subtitles.

In addition several alternative versions of several films that often were distributed abroad are proposed.

   And what about the bonuses!!! …  Of great richness with unused footage and sequences, uncompleted projects, art cinema, rushes…how the special effects work…

   That’s to say 14 hour and 27 minutes of Ladislas Starewitch footage.

   Read all the details about the newly released DVD!

 * What does Terry Gilliam thinks about The Mascot by Ladislas Starewitch ?  See The Guardian... “It was at the Sitges film festival that I first saw an exhibition of work by the pioneering Russian animator Wladyslaw Starewicz, and the puppets were so enrapturing that when I got home I ordered up all the tapes I could find of his work. His work is absolutely breathtaking, surreal,inventive and extraordinary, encompassing everything that Jan Svankmajer, Walerian Borowczyk and the Quay Brothers would do subsequently. This is his last film, after The Tale of the Fox from 1930 ; it is all right there in this cosmic animation soup. It is important, before you journey through all these mind-bending worlds, to remember that it was all done years ago, by someone most of us have forgotten about now. This is where it all began.” Terry Gilliam, The Guardian, Friday 27 April 2001 about The Mascot  by Wladyslaw Starewicz , France 1934. (T. Gilliam uses the polish spelling, Ladislas Starewitch is the spelling used by L. Starewitch when he arrived in France.)

2012 :

* Sunday, December 2nd @ 7:00pm at Northwest Chicago Film Society - CHICAGO

* During the autumn Byrne Power met Léona-Béatrice Martin-Starewitch in PARIS :  … “Starewitch is a big influence on the Brothers Quay. When I mentioned him to Švankmajer, he immediately corrected my translator who was fumbling with the name a bit. Terry Gilliam also owes him a real debt and considers The Mascot as one of the ten greatest animated films made. Tim Burton’s animated work screams Starewitch. And Fetiche Mascotte seems like a direct ancestor of Toy Story. And if Wes Anderson did not make a careful study of Starewitch before making the Fantastic Mr. Fox. I’d be really surprised. Starewitch, like George Méliès, is one of those seminal figures, an original, an inventor, whose work is still literally marvelous !” Byrne Power.    Read more !
