Dansa Serpentina (1900) 

The director of this film is Alice Guy- as she was the only director at Gaumont pictures until 1905. Ref: The Memoirs of Alice Guy-Blaché.

This is a dancer named Annabelle whose work often did resemble Loie Fuller. The films were frequently hand painted. Very beautiful.

So beautiful

She and Loie Fuller---the Georgia O'Keefes of the dance world.

Music is: Piano Sonata No. 17 in D Minor, Op. 31, No. 2 - "The tempest": III played by Lev Vlassenko Enjoy!

Respect for how satisfying is this

isn't this so much like life? beautiful.

rest at peace you artist. its for 120 years ago. now i'm downloading all movies from 1900 forward and i feel depressed. i understood the death.

Whenever i see this i feel happy of being human

Neat video...does anyone know what piano piece is being played?
