Kevin
Brownlow with his latest honor. Image by Thomas Hauerslev
Kevin Brownlow is a man of extraordinary knowledge of the history of
cinema. Not only a researcher, but great explainer through seminal
documentaries and books on the golden days of the industry. But to the
widescreen world he holds a special place for his championing of the work
and vision of Abel Gance.
At an early age, he developed his passion for cinema and by the age of
eleven, he had started to collect film and three years later he was filming
with a 9.5mm camera. Among the many films he collected was a 9.5mm two reel
clip of Gance’s "Napoleon" a film that was believed to be lost. He became
fascinated by it. Over the years, he collected all he could find eventually
was able to reconstruct a version of 4 hrs 50 mins. This extraordinary work
of reconstruction gave the world of view of silent cinema that was amazing
in its scope and vision. As it reaches its pinnacle, Gance introduces two
extra panels to create a triptych that starts as three separate images and
blends into and early Cinerama style image to convey the epic scale of
battle.

This alone with establish Kevin Brownlow in the hearts of fans of
cinema, but his fascinating television series, The Hollywood Pioneers,
rescued silent cinema and its stars and directors for a new generation and
stimulated a resurgence of interest in so-called silent cinema that has run
persistently to the present day. Equally his seminal work on early cinema
considerable The Parade's Gone By... (1968) remains a classic.
