Sincerely, Ryan Krivoshey ******************************************************************* THROUGH THE CONSUL'S EYE A Film by Jorge Amat At the turn of the century, a little-known French Consul in China, Auguste François, made headlines by saving a handful of French citizens during the Boxer uprising. In China from 1896 to 1905, he witnessed some of the greatest events of the time. An avid photographer, Francois, with a camera lent to him by the famous Lumière brothers, documented the historic events and everyday life he saw around him. Culled from François' letters, diary entries, and notes, and with a wealth of rare archival photographs and films - including the first films shot in China - THROUGH THE CONSUL'S EYE chronicles the experiences of this aristocratic diplomat, who left us a remarkable portrait of China on the brink of a new age. "Better than any other academic work, [THROUGH THE CONSUL'S EYE] offers a captivating vision of China at the turn of the century. - Le Monde (Paris) For more information on this film: http://www.frif.com/new2001/thru.html Ryan Krivoshey First Run / Icarus Films 32 Court Street, 21st Floor Brooklyn, NY 11201 Tel. 718-488-8900 Fax. 718-488-8642 Web: http://www.frif.com Email: ryan@frif.com ================================================================= To post to H-ASIA simply send your message to: <H-ASIA@h-net.msu.edu> For holidays or short absences send post to: <listserv@h-net.msu.edu> with message: SET H-ASIA NOMAIL Upon return, send post with message SET H-ASIA MAIL H-ASIA WEB HOMEPAGE URL: http://h-net.msu.edu/~asia/
