Since the Lumière first filmed workers: 1895-1995

The brothers that invented filming equipment. The first films ever produced were of workers

Each film has the name of the director listed. The Lumière brothers were basically the first to film workers. Immediately afterwards the use of film in working class social history became increasingly important. The enormous Mayday demonstations of Mayday 1886 were filmed, I haven't seen this footage but I know it exists.

"Desde que los Lumière filmaron a los obreros: el mundo del trabajo en el cine" (Since the Lumière first filmed workers: the world of labour and cinema) was written to commemorate 100 years of working class social history on film.

Hi Serge

I felt that it would be useful to do a proper study of how many of these films I could find. 'Days of Hope' by Ken Loach is one of the hardest to find. I still haven't seen it

To be honest with you when I was dismissive because of a few films that I don't like. Others were fairly easy to find mostly through comrades in a few countries and browsing the internet.

I'm told that 'Salt of the Earth' was the only film ever blacklisted in the US for it's pro-working class stance. Good movie!

Luis Buñuel films on the list are - 'Los Olvidados' (The young and the damned) (1950) and 'Las Hurdes' (Tierra sin pan) (1933). La Voie lactée (1969); 'L'Âge d'or' and 'Abismos de pasión' aren't on the list because (I think) they're not as relevant.

I've got a bad copy of a portuguese version with flemish subtitles

I transcribed and have done some research on the CIRA pamphlet Les anarchistes à l’écran - Anarchists on screen 1901-2003 that includes Eros + Massacre. I'm afraid this is one of the most difficult films to find. I haven't seen it.

Not useless at all - brushing it off because it isn't in english would be like cutting my nose off to spite my face.

Besides, with a bit of encouragment it might be possible to get someone to transcribe films into their original language, from there it can be translated (maybe even to esperanto ) and added as subtitles - I'm told it's actually very easy to add subtitles.
