Arab Cortege, Geneva1897
An early film document of international relations, the subject of this Lumière short exceeds its title. The promised processional of Arab dignitaries walks by the camera at the outset but what of the African men who pass on the other side of the street? A crowd of gawking Swiss men and women in the background mirrors the film’s exoticism.
